Carlos Alcaraz Off The Mark In Toronto, Gael Monfils Stuns Stefanos Tsitsipas
Carlos Alcaraz won his 13th ATP match in a row as the world number one began the Toronto Masters by defeating Ben Shelton 6-3, 7-6 (7/3) on Wednesday. The second-round battle of the two 20-year-olds went to the Spaniard, who is bidding for Canadian success after winning successive trophies at Queen's Club and Wimbledon. Alcaraz now stands 48-4 on the season as he begins the build-up for his defence of the US Open title. The top seed admitted that he was out-hit at times by his 41st-ranked American opponent in the 56-minute contest - his first career win in Toronto.
