Caption: Alcaraz Powers into Barcelona Quarters. Carlos Alcaraz reached the Barcelona Open quarter-finals with a straight-sets win over Laslo Djere. The world number two breezed through the first set 6-2, firing eight clean winners and claiming the first five games. Djere took a 4-2 lead in the second, but Alcaraz surged back, winning four straight games to seal it 6-4. “I started playing closer to my real level after going 2-4 down,” said the 21-year-old. He now faces Alex de Minaur in the quarter-finals on Friday, after the Australian beat Britain’s Jacob Fearnley. De Minaur cruised past Fearnley 6-1 6-2; the Brit had earned his first ATP clay win just days earlier. Meanwhile, fourth seed Andrey Rublev fell to Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, who won 7-5 6-4. Fokina will meet fellow unseeded player Karen Khachanov next, after the Russian ousted Jaume Munar. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
