Carlos Alcaraz cruised into the fourth round of the Mutua Madrid Open with a straight-sets victory over Thiago Seyboth Wild, the second seed triumphing 6-3 6-3.
Alcaraz rattled off 10 games in a row at one stage in the match. From 3-2 down, on serve, the Spaniard swiftly claimed the first set and opened up a 5-0 lead in the second with a double break. There would be a late wobble from the two-time defending champion, however, with Seyboth Wild himself claiming three games in a row - the unseeded Brazilian breaking Alcaraz for the first time when serving for the match.
But reigning Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova is out, the seventh seed upset by 16-year-old Mirra Andreeva, losing out 7-5 6-1 to the supremely talented teenager.
