Alcaraz, the number two ranked player in the world, beat sixth-seeded German Alexander Zverev in straight sets 6-3 6-1 despite a swarm of bees on the court.
The bees caused a two-hour delay with Alcaraz seen swatting them away before running for cover just 19 minutes into the match.
The announcer said play was to be suspended due to a 바카라bee invasion바카라, but after the delay Alcaraz wrapped up the match in just under 90 minutes.
On court after the match, the Spaniard said: 바카라It was strange, I바카라ve never seen something like that on a tennis court.
바카라When we ran out of the court, we were watching the bee invasion on the TV and we laughed a lot about it. It was funny for me. It바카라s going to be remembered for that, not for the tennis.바카라
Earlier in the day, Australian Open winner Sinner continued his sizzling start to the year taking down Jiri Lehecka and extending his 2024 win streak to 16.
It took the third-seeded Italian one hour and 24 minutes to win 6-3 6-3 but the 22-year-old already has his sights set on Alcaraz.
바카라Yeah, Carlos, it바카라s always fun to play with him. We are good friends off the court. On the court, we just try to give 100 per cent, no,바카라 Sinner said.
바카라I think we have a good attitude on court. Usually the matches are good. Last year against him, especially here on this court, I struggled a lot. He played much better than me, which then two weeks after I played Miami against him where I won, so, you know, let바카라s see.바카라
