DOHA, Qatar (AP) — Top-seeded Carlos Alcaraz
reached the quarterfinals of the Qatar Open by beating Luca
Nardi 6-1, 4-6, 6-3 on Wednesday.
The 21-year-old Spaniard let his guard down in the second set,
when his Italian opponent fought back from trailing 1-4 to force
a decider.
“My energy levels probably went down a little bit, but credit to
him,” said the third-ranked Alcaraz, who will next face Jiri
Lehecka.
Also Wednesday, second-seeded Alex de Minaur beat Botic van de
Zandschulp 6-4, 6-4 to set up a quarterfinal match against
fifth-seeded Andrey Rublev.
Fourth-seeded Daniil Medvedev beat Zizou Bergs 6-2, 6-1 and will
meet Félix Auger-Aliassime in the final eight.
Jack Draper eliminated Christopher O’Connell 6-2, 6-1. He will
next play Matteo Berrettini, who beat Tallon Griekspoor 7-6 (4),
6-7 (6), 6-4. Berrettini had ousted Novak Djokovic in the
previous round.
