Australian Open 2024: Alcaraz reaches second week at Melbourne for first time

The Hindu  

Carlos Alcaraz eased into the fourth round of the Australian Open for the first time on Saturday after Chinese wildcard Shang Juncheng retired hurt while trailing their uneven contest 6-1 6-1 1-0. “It’s not the way anybody wants to move on and I wish him a speedy recovery,” said second seed Alcaraz, who will play Serbian Miomir Kecmanovic in the last 16. I think Jerry and myself wanted to play a long match.” Shang broke new ground for China when he reached the second round as a qualifier last year and was looking to become the first Chinese man to reach the last 16 of a Grand Slam since 1938. Last year, the 20-year-old watched the year’s first Grand Slam from his couch nursing a hamstring injury and he was delighted to get through to the business end of the tournament for the first time in three visits to Melbourne Park.
