Alcaraz, Medvedev win Beijing openers as Zhang upsets Navarro
BEIJING: Carlos Alcaraz and Daniil Medvedev both won in straight sets to launch their China Open title bids on Friday while 595th-ranked Zhang Shuai pulled off a big shock in the women’s draw.
Four-time major champion Alcaraz defeated fellow 21-year-old Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard 6-4, 6-4 and faces Tallon Griekspoor of the Netherlands in round two in Beijing.
Alcaraz, who went out in the second round of the US Open last month, made a blistering start against the 51st-ranked Frenchman by breaking serve in the first game.
