Carlos Alcaraz advanced in the Vienna Open after defeating Tommy Paul on Friday, though the Spanish star acknowledged one aspect of his game felt below its usual standard.
Alcaraz secured the victory in the Austrian capital but told reporters afterward that he had identified a specific area of his performance that was weaker than normal. He did not elaborate on which part of his game concerned him.
The win keeps Alcaraz on track in the ATP 500 event as he continues his 2026 season.
