A new-look Carlos Alcaraz brought the same trademark intensity on a humid evening at the 2025 US Open. The former champion opened his campaign with a steady 6-4, 7-5, 6-4 win over American Reilly Opelka on Monday.
Alcaraz, who turned up in a buzz cut, was dominant in the opening set, and did not drop a single point on serve. Though the towering American put up a better fight in the next two sets, the Spaniard was up to the task.
Having already won five grand slams at 22, the current French Open champion returns to the site of his maiden grand slam.
