ATP 1000 Rome. Preparation. 1/16 final
Fabian Marozhan (Hungary) [Q] – Carlos Alcaraz (Spain) [2] – 6:3, 7:6 (7:4)
Interesting that Carlos lost 3:4 with a time-out in the second set, but for the first time in the match, interrupting the opponent’s serve evened the score and it looked like the Spaniard needed to reverse the game. He led the tie-break 4-1 in the second set, but lost 6 points in a row.
