Hi, Jon,
Fábián Marozsán's straight-set defeat of Carlos Alcaraz was stunning. Coming into the Italian Open, Marozsán had never been in the main draw of an ATP event. He had lost five of his last six challenger circuit matches, had survived the first round of qualifying with a 7–5 third set and had overcome Jiri Lehecka in the round of 64 after trailing 4–2 in a decisive tiebreaker. Alcaraz had won 12 straight matches, looking particularly dominant on clay.
Is this the most surprising result since Dustin Brown defeated Rafael Nadal at Wimbledon, adding to his career 2–0 record against Rafa? Is this a mere blip for Alcaraz, or does it explode a weakness in his game others might exploit at Roland Garros?
