Carlos Alcaraz is into the second week of the US Open after beating Yibing Wu 6-3, 6-4, 6-1 on Friday.
The defending champion is now into the fourth round at Flushing Meadows for the fifth time in his career, reaching the second week of a Grand Slam for the 16th time. The victory also extended his winning streak to 17 consecutive matches at hard-court Grand Slams and 10 straight wins at the US Open.
Alcaraz continues to build his level after returning from a lengthy injury layoff, and he admitted that his comeback has gone better than he expected.
“To be honest, I’m better than I thought.”
The Spaniard also brought back his trademark archer celebration after the win, a celebration he has previously said is dedicated to his younger brother.
Alcaraz will face American Tommy Paul in the fourth round after Paul defeated Alexander Bublik in five sets.
