On the Philippe-Chatrier court, Daniel set some remarkable accents, but overall he was clearly lost once morest the Spaniard, who was ten years his junior. After 2:25 hours the match was over.
In the first set, Alcaraz immediately underlined his favorite position and seized the match. At the beginning of the second round, however, the 20-year-old world number one gave up his serve early, giving Daniel a boost.

The Japanese used the momentum and held up well in this second set, mightn’t be broken and seemed more secure overall than in the whole match.
In the third set, however, it quickly became clear that Alcaraz had only downplayed the second set following the break. Because now he turned up once more, regained the upper hand and unsettled Daniel. He wobbled especially on the second serve and only scored the point in 29 percent of the cases, while Alcaraz took two service games from him and won the set confidently like the first 6: 1.

Alcaraz is particularly impressive when it comes to returning
This trend continued in the crucial fourth set. Alcaraz allowed a break early on, but was in a class of his own when it came to returning and finally pulled Daniel’s tooth:
Three breaks went to the Spaniard and all points where Daniel didn’t field the first serve were taken by Alcaraz. After 2:25 hours, the number one on the seeding list used the first match ball to win.
