Carlos Alcaraz officially started his campaign on the North American hard-court swing on Sunday (August 10). He survived a scare against Damir Dzumhur, who took the second set off him.

Jannik Sinner’s rivalry with Carlos Alcaraz has become the defining storyline in men’s tennis. But when it comes to recent hard-court dominance, there is no debate, the Italian stands alone.

As per OptaAce, Alexander Zverev has claimed a 156th match win at ATP Masters 1000 events, surpassing Grigor Dimitrov for the outright-most of any player born since the format’s introduction in 1990.
