Alcaraz Extends Win Streak
Carlos Alcaraz got off to a flying start on his Rome debut as the 20-year-old knocked out fellow Spaniard Albert Ramos Vinolas in straight sets in the second round on Saturday.
The world no. 2 was broken in the very first game of the match but he slowly found his footing and took control of the proceedings. He broke the world no. 72 twice in the first set and twice in the second for a 6-4, 6-1 victory.
With the win, Alcaraz, who will become the world no. 1 next week, extended his current win streak to 12 matches. He had come into the tournament by clinching back-to-back titles in Barcelona and Madrid.
Alcaraz is 30-2 overall this year, with his only defeats coming in the final in Rio and the semifinal in Miami.
The 10-time tour-level champion has won four of the five finals he has featured in this year and that includes titles in Indian Wells and Buenos Aires.
Alcaraz is 20-1 on clay this year and in all likelihood that record will improve further on Sunday.

The 23-year-old Marozsan had lost the first set to the 32nd seed, but he made a string return in the second and then edged the deciding set tiebreak to beat the Czech player 4-6, 6-1, 7-6 (7-4).
The two-hour-and-14-minute contest saw Marozsan save 3 of 6 break points and convert 4 of 7. He also hit five more winners than Lehecka’s 20, while both players made 22 unforced errors in the contest.
This was the world no. 135’s second win at the tour. His first came a couple of days ago, when he ousted Corentin Moutet in the a three-set first round contest.
The 23-year-old had won the Antalya Challenger earlier this year for his second Challenger title. He has an overall record of 19-14 this season. While a win over Alcaraz would be too much to ask for, but after winning four matches in Rome (including qualifiers) he would be looking to go out on a high and therefore he is expected to give his all against the world no. 2.
