First set: *Alcaraz 4-1 Tu (*denotes next server)

Tu is on the board at last but not without a fight! Alcaraz, moving about the court with ease and showing no sign of the twisted ankle he suffered during training on Saturday, makes him work for every point. But he's able to hold serve after a lob by Alcaraz misses the mark and the Ashe crowd offers up a hearty round of applause that brings a smile to Tu's face.
