Shanghai Masters top seed Carlos Alcaraz fought through what he called "one of the toughest matches this year" to make the tournament's final 16 on Monday, beating Britain's Daniel Evans 7-6 (7/1), 6-4.

But over the course of prolonged and sometimes scrappy rallies that left spectators gasping and groaning, the world number two gradually assumed control, comprehensively winning the first-set tiebreaker.
