Carlos Alcaraz says for half the matches of the tennis season, players “don’t feel that good” as the Spaniard secured a tour-leading 50th victory of 2025 at the Cincinnati Open. <\/b><\/p>\n

The 22-year-old cruised past Serbian Hamad Medjedovic in straight sets 6-4 6-4 in the third round to also claim his 13th consecutive Masters 1000 win. <\/p>\n

Alcaraz is the first player since 24-time major champion Novak Djokovic, from 2013 to 2016, to reach 50 wins in four consecutive seasons.<\/p>\n

The world number two will face Italian Luca Nardi in the fourth round on Wednesday. <\/p>\n

“You have to think positive and just play your best tennis possible that day,” said the five-time Grand Slam winner. <\/p>\n

“I’m really happy that in really difficult matches I’m able to play my best tennis even though I’m not feeling the right way.<\/p>\n

“I’m just happy and proud about it because it’s something I’m working on.”<\/p>\n

Lucky loser Nardi, 22, led 16th seed Jakub Mensik 6-2 2-1 when the Czech retired from their third-round match. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
