Carlos Alcaraz battled through a rain interruption to claim his 50th win of the season, defeating Jordan Thompson 7-5, 4-6, 6-3 yesterday at the Cincinnati Open.
The top-seeded Spaniard is bidding for his seventh trophy of 2023 as he prepares for a US Open title defence in less than a fortnight.
His victory took three hours, with the world No 1 breaking open the third set as he delivered two love games and moved through on a second match point.
Alcaraz was tested by number 55 Thompson who now stands 2-16 against Top-10 opponents.
