Carlos Alcaraz recovered from a first-set loss to defeat Portuguese player Jaime Faria 4-6, 6-0, 6-3, 6-2 in the first round of the US Open. The 23-year-old Spaniard, who faced tougher competition than his previous opponent, showed resilience by overcoming several challenging moments to secure his spot in the second round.
Alcaraz will now face Chinese player Yibing Wu, ranked 113th, in his next match. The victory came on a day when fellow Spanish players Dani Mérida and Paula Badosa also progressed, while Rafa Jódar and Jaume Munar were eliminated from the tournament. capturengo.com
