Alcaraz gained an early lead in the first game and maintained his dominance with a 6-2, 6-2 win.<\/p>\n
Shang, a teenage sensation, became the second Chinese player to clinch an ATP Tour singles title at the Chengdu Open last month. However, he struggled to gain ground against the world\u2019s second-ranked player.<\/p>\n
The audience, while supportive of Shang, was captivated by Alcaraz\u2019s allure.<\/p>\n
Encouraged by the Spaniard, they erupted into cheers during an exhilarating rally where Alcaraz executed a challenging backward shot to sustain the play.<\/p>\n
\u201cRecently, I\u2019ve been playing some really good tennis, so I aim to continue this momentum and maintain this positive feeling,\u201d Alcaraz remarked post-match.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith only one practice session before diving into this match, displaying such a level of play in my first game makes me incredibly proud,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n
Entering the tournament with a nine-match winning streak, Alcaraz had just triumphed at the China Open in Beijing, where he overcame the top-seeded Italian, Jannik Sinner, in the final.<\/p>\n
