PARIS, France -- Carlos Alcaraz slipped to a shock defeat on his return from injury on Tuesday at the Paris Masters while Alexander Zverev needed three sets to see off Marton Fucsovics.
The same scenario then played out in the second set, with Alcaraz breaking for an early lead only for his opponent to strike back immediately. "I think I didn't move well. In the shots, I think I had a good quality of shots. But physically, in terms of movement, I have to improve a lot." "Even if he's not in the best shape it's tough to beat him," said Safiullin. "So, I'm really happy that I made it."The German 10th seed Zverev also had his difficulties, having to come back from a set down to beat Hungarian Fucsovics 4-6, 7-5, 6-4 in the round of 64 at Bercy Arena."He was playing incredibly well and tactically I think he was unbelievable.
