Tonight’s victory marked the 23-year-old star’s first title since returning to competition following a hand injury that sidelined him for several months, and he has now shown that he is in good form heading into the season finale.
To secure the victory, Alcaraz had to put in a lot of effort in the first set and “bounce back” the game he lost at the start of the match, taking the tiebreak 7-4 to go up 1-0. The second set also turned into a close contest, with the young Spaniard breaking the Czech’s serve to make it 4-3, ultimately winning the set 6-4.
