Spaniard Roberto Carballes Baena: Carlos Alcaraz spoiled fellow Spaniard Roberto Carballes Baena’s 31st birthday celebrations with a 6-2, 6-1 victory.

Alcaraz is on a seven-match winning streak, and he has not been beaten by a Spaniard in the last 11 matches – the last one to do so was Rafael Nadal in the 2022 Indian Wells semifinal.

The 20-year-old next faces the winner of resurgent French veteran Gael Monfils, who dispatched in-form Australian Jordan Thompson 6-7 (3-7), 6-1, 6-2.
