–

No rest for Carlos Alcaraz, after barely escaping the clay stylings of Jan-Lennard Struff.

He had to get out there less than 24 hours later and play … Andrey Rublev. And he just didn’t have enough, as Rublev has turned it around after a tough stretch.

All the fourth-round matches were played on Monday. So some of the lucky ones who play later get the extra full day off.

And eight more doubles matches on the sked. And more upsets.
