Alcaraz wins in Milan
Just as he had done all week, Carlos Alcaraz dominated in
Milan to beat Sebastian Korda of the United States and win the Next Gen ATP Finals on Saturday, capping a brilliant season for the Spanish teenager. The top-seeded Alcaraz seemed to take a while to find his proper rhythm and had to save a number of break points in his first two service games. But once the 18-year-old was in his stride there was no turning back as he saw off Korda 4-3 (5), 4-2, 4-2 in 82 minutes. The victory made Alcaraz the youngest player to earn 32 tour-level wins in a season since Andrei Medvedev went 32-11 in 1992 when he was 18. There are different rules at the Next Gen tournament, including on-court coaching, noAd scoring, medical timeout limits, and Hawk-Eye making all the line calls. The most drastic change is the shorter first-to-four set, with a tiebreaker at 3-3.
