Spanish tennis player Carlos Alcaraz outclassed Shang Juncheng in the third round of the Australian Open, reaching the fourth round for the first time. The 20-year-old world number two was leading 6-1, 6-1, 1-0 when his 18-year-old opponent was forced to retire due to injury. Alcaraz, who missed the previous year’s tournament due to injury, expressed that it was not the ideal way to progress, but he looks forward to moving to the second week in Australia.
