MADRID (AP) — Carlos Alcaraz has capped another impressive week with a straight-set victory over Alexander Zverev to win the Madrid Open and become the second-youngest player to claim two Masters 1000 titles. The Spanish teenage sensation was coming off victories over his idol Rafael Nadal in the quarterfinals and top-ranked Novak Djokovic in the semifinals. He comfortably defeated No. 3 Zverev 6-3, 6-1. It was the seventh straight win over a top-10 player for the 19-year-old Alcaraz, and his tour-leading fourth title of the year.
