Carlos Alcaraz, who was stunned by Tommy Paul in the second round of the Canadian Open last month, won his first match in Cincinnati. On Wednesday, the Spaniard, who received a first-round bye, needed only 65 minutes to destroy Mackenzie McDonald in straight sets. The World No. 4 faced no break points in the match, converting 4 of 7 on his way to a 6-3, 6-2 victory. He served brilliantly, dropping only three points on his first serve and four on his second. The 19-year-old improved to 43-8 on the season. This year, he won four titles in Rio, Miami, Barcelona, and Madrid, and finished second in Hamburg and Umag.

Marin Cilic, the 2016 Cincinnati Open champion, outlasted Emil Ruusuvuori in a dramatic three-set second round match on Wednesday. The Croatian improved to 19-11 in Cincinnati with a 6-4, 6-7 (5-7), 7-5 victory over the Finn in three hours and 18 minutes. Ruusuvuori was serving for the match at 4-5 in the final set when Cilic broke him to love for the second time in the set to stay in the game. In the final game, he broke for the fourth time in the set to earn his 25th victory of the season. In the first round, the 14th seed defeated Spanish qualifier Jaume Munar 6-3, 6-3. Cilic is currently ranked 17th in the world and has reached four semifinals this year.
