Alcaraz in Beijing

55 minutes. That's how long it took Carlos Alcaraz to qualify for the quarter-finals of the ATP 500 in Beijing.

Against Tallon Griekspoor, ranked 39th in the world, the Spaniard gave his opponent no chance, covering his ground very well and hitting the ball ever harder.

Disgusted, the Dutchman quickly proved impotent, multiplying his unforced errors and hardly making a single winning shot (2).

For a place in the semi-finals, the world number 3 will face Karen Khachanov in the next round.
