Carlos Alcaraz qualified for the 3rd round of the US Open 2023 in 3 sets against South African Lloyd Harris. Although he didn't produce an unbelievable level of play, Carlitos was serious and diligent, particularly in the first 2 sets, with some diabolical drop shots. During this match, he also frequently used the backhand slice with a certain efficiency. A little more in difficulty in the 3rd set, he won it 7-6 in the tie-break (7-4). It was Carlitos' 55th win of the year (only 6 defeats) and his 9th in a row at Flushing Meadows. It's important for confidence to produce serious matches like this, especially in the early rounds of the competition.
Vamos Carlitos!
