Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz raced to the Madrid Open title on Sunday, brushing aside German Alexander Zverev 6-3, 6-1 in 62 minutes.

The victory in just over an hour, took the 19-year-old’s winning streak to 10 matches and gave him a second consecutive title after victory last month in Barcelona.

Alcaraz beat Rafael Nadal and world No 1 Novak Djokovic on his way to the Madrid final — a first in a clay court tournament — and will climb to No 6 in the world on Monday.

Alcaraz, who turned 19 on Thursday, captured a second ATP Masters 1000 level title after Miami in March.
