Carlos Alcaraz continues with a firm step in this Canada Masters 1,000 after defeating the Pole Hubert Hurkacz in three sets (3-6, 7-6(2), 7-6(3)). The world number one suffered to qualify for the quarterfinals in a difficult match that he fought for 2 hours and 38 minutes. After overcoming the first set against, the Spanish tennis player signed a comeback of character to seal his streak of consecutive wins to 14.
The American tennis player Tommy Paul will be the one who tries to knock down the Murcian as he did a year ago on this same stage. Alcaraz already suffered as an executioner in the last edition, when he fell in the second round. A year later, the Murcian will have the opportunity to eliminate the American and be closer to what would be his seventh tournament won in 2023 after winning in Buenos Aires, Indian Wells, Conde Godo, Madrid, Queen’s and Wimbledon.
The US Open awaits Carlos Alcaraz on the horizon -it will start on August 28-, where he will try to defend his crown. Before, the Spanish tennis player will go through Cincinnati to play a new Masters 1,000. In this way, the Murcian tennis player will continue fighting to sign a 2023 that is already a record with a balance of 49-4.
In these quarterfinals of the Toronto Masters 1,000 there will also be the Spanish tennis player Alejandro Davidovic. The man from Malaga beat the Norwegian Casper Ruud in a very tough match and will face the American Mackenzie McDonald in this next round.
