Only three days after becoming champion of the China Open against Sinner, number 1 in the ranking, ‘Carlitos’ maintained the line of excellence and passed like a cyclone about Shang, 19 years old and recent winner of the Chengdu tournament.
The local tennis player, despite playing in front of his audience, who was overwhelmed by the total tennis of Alcaraz, who was safe with the service, impeccable on the network and devastating with the rest so as not to leave a single loophole that would leave the match open for his rival.
