World No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz is through to the second week at the Australian Open for the first time.
On Saturday, the 20-year-old beat Juncheng Shang, with the Chinese left-hander retiring after losing two sets and going 1-0 down in the third. After playing nine sets in the first two rounds, Shang proved to be no match for Alcaraz before leaving Rod Laver Arena with his upper right thigh strapped.
Alcaraz continued his near perfect campaign in Melbourne, dropping his only set of the week in the second round against Italy's Lorenzo Sonego. In a dominating performance, the Spaniard won 18 of his 21 first-serve points and didn't concede a break point to move to within four wins of the title.
On that note, here's a look at the Spaniard's next opponent, live streaming and telecast details, and schedule:
