TOKYO: Carlos Alcaraz admitted his ankle injury had worried him and was on his mind as he beat Belgium’s Zizou Bergs 6-4, 6-3 at the Japan Open on Saturday. The world number one hurt himself two days earlier in his opening match in Tokyo, crumpling to the ground before playing on with his ankle heavily strapped.

His service was broken three times overall and he blamed his injury for his lack of accuracy. “I think because my thoughts were on the ankle, I forgot about doing a smooth movement, smooth serve,” he said. Alcaraz raced into an early lead in the second set but Bergs made him work hard for the victory with a gritty
