Carlos Alcaraz was back in action in Tokyo, although an ankle twist suffered in his opener certain leaves some open questions that he answered with a solid performance.

The thing is, when you have a match as the spotlight evening session match (with nothing else available late to substitute for it), you have to have reasonable assurance that he’s good to go.

And he was.

In Beijing, Sinner, de Minaur and Mensik were in action. And they all had tight ones.
