On the night of August 29-30, Moscow time, the third world number, Spanish tennis player Carlos Alcaraz, completed his performance at the US Open (US Open – 2024) in men’s singles. In the second round, Alcaraz lost to the representative of the Netherlands, Botik van de Zandshulp, with a score of 1:6, 5:7, 4:6.
After Alcaraz’s defeat, there were no Spanish players left in the men’s singles draw at the 2024 US Open.
