Alcaraz started his campaign in the tune-up event with a straight-sets win over Australian Adam Walton, before showing compatriot Jaunme Munar the exit door in the Round of 16.

“I’m happy to lift this trophy once again. It’s a nightmare to play against Jiri, but it’s been an incredible week,” the Spaniard said after his win.
