Carlos Alcaraz He once again showed an overwhelming level this Saturday. On this occasion, the setting was the Shanghai Masters 1,000, and his victim, the Chinese Juncheng Shang, whom he defeated (6-2/6-2) in just an hour and a quarter to re-sign the chamber, where he left a curious message.
“Long time without signing the camera”wrote the Murcian tennis player, with a pink marker and accompanied by a funny face, on the lens of one of the cameras on the court, just after confirming the victory in his debut in the Chinese tournament.
Shang, who was playing in front of his home crowd and had just won the Chengdu tournament, could do nothing to overcome a very superior Alcaraz in all facets of the game: from the service, on the network and, also, to the rest.
The one from El Palmar even managed to get the Shanghai public out of their seats after adding a point to his score after rectifying a bad climb to the net in which Shang attempted the lob with a spectacular blow from behind.
After beating the Chinese player in his debut at the Shanghai Masters 1,000, Alcaraz will face another local tennis player in the next round: Wu Yibing, number 560 in the ATP ranking, who in China has surpassed Sumit Nagal and Nicolás Jarry.
