Spanish World No. 2 Alcaraz, who was making his return to the court following injuries to his lower back and left foot, had been given a bye in the first round but had no answer to Russian qualifier Roman Safiullin who eased through 6-3, 6-4.
“He didn’t surprise me at all because I knew that he has been playing a great level these last few months, beating big guys, reaching finals,” said a disconsolate Alcarez. Meanwhile, Daniil Medvedev became the latest high seed to fall when he lost to Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov 6-3, 6-7 (4/7), 7-6 (7/2) on Wednesday.
