The Spark Returns to Alcaraz's Game Carlos Alcaraz's victory over Tommy Paul in straight sets at the US Open marked a significant milestone for the defending champion, who had been out of commission since April with a wrist injury.
This win extends his major match winning streak to 18 games, an impressive feat considering his lengthy absence from competition.
The power he demonstrated on the court was striking, particularly in a blistering 164km/h forehand winner down the line.
