Carlos Alcaraz, the two-time defending champion at the Madrid Open, showcased his dominance by defeating Thiago Seyboth Wild in the third round on Sunday. Alcaraz, who had skipped the Monte Carlo and Barcelona tournaments due to an arm injury, displayed a strong performance to secure a 6-3, 6-3 victory.
Reflecting on his match, Alcaraz expressed satisfaction with his level of play despite initial nerves about his forearm condition. The 20-year-old player commended Seyboth Wild's powerful shots but ultimately felt pleased with his own performance. Alcaraz's win marked his second consecutive victory in the tournament, following his earlier triumph against Alexander Shevchenko.
