World number one Carlos Alcaraz maintained his impressive form by defeating French player Arthur Rinderknech 6-4, 7-6(5) in 1 hour and 47 minutes during his first match at the Doha tournament. The victory comes just two weeks after the Spanish star completed his Grand Slam poker by winning the Australian Open.
Alcaraz has been busy since his Australian triumph, enjoying time with family in Murcia, attending Formula 1 events in Bahrain, and fishing in the Persian Gulf before returning to competitive action.
