“It is a really difficult thing, really difficult news for everybody, and even tougher for me,” Alcaraz said."He has been my idol since I start playing tennis. I look up to him. Proudly, thanks to him, I really wanted to become a professional tennis player. Losing him, in a certain way, is going to be difficult for us, so I will try to enjoy as much as I can when he’s going to play.
Sinner started strongly and only faced one break point in his 6-1, 6-4 masterclass over the Russian, who needed treatment on his shoulder from the physio during the second set. Thursday's win for the Belarussian allowed her to regain top spot in the rankings from Iga Swiatek, who is absent from the women’s Asian swing citing personal reasons and fatigue.
Sabalenka finished with 44 winners to 33 unforced errors, while holding Putintseva to 13 winners and 14 unforced errors.It was the fourth-ranked Gauff's eighth consecutive win after the American won the China Open last week which moved her back into the top five in the rankings. “She’s a tough opponent,” Gauff said of Linette."We haven’t played since . I really don’t know what to expect. But just from watching her play, she’s been playing a great couple of matches here in Wuhan.Gauff will be the only American left in the draw after third-ranked Jessica Pegula and tour rookie Hailey Baptiste lost.
