Carlos Alcaraz isn't QUITE in a groove just yet.
But, with his level of talent, he doesn't need to be to get these wins.
Last week's champion in Monte-Carlo overcomes some wobbles in the 2nd set to defeat American qualifier Ethan Quinn, 6-2, 7-6⁶.
Carlos now faces Laslo Djere.

So, apparently, while getting her ass whooped by Lois Boisson today, Harriet Dart was heard telling the chair umpire to tell the Frenchwoman to put on deodorant.
Lois Boisson posted this on Instagram. 😭
(Dart seems to get in a lot of these little tiffs... notably with her BJK Cup teammates.)

Alcaraz: I’m not a big fan of comparisons. Of course, it’s an honor to be compared to the three greatest of all time, but I’m Carlos Alcaraz, and I’m just trying to follow my own path — nothing more.

Alcaraz was asked by GQ Spain if he thinks about winning +20 Slams.

Did Alcaraz change since it all started?
"More than changing, I’d say evolving. Even though I’m still very young, I came into the circuit as just a kid. During this time, I’ve learned a bit about how everything (...) The day I stop evolving, we’ll be in trouble…"

Alcaraz enjoyed his @netflix series.
"I loved it — mainly because it truly reflects who I am and the people who are with me on this journey. I think everyone who watches it will end up feeling like they know me a little better, especially on a personal level."
