Title: Alcaraz Advances to Fourth Round at Australian Open

Carlos Alcaraz advanced to the fourth round (Round of 16) in the men's singles competition at the Australian Open on Saturday after his Chinese opponent Shang Juncheng, who was participating with a wildcard, withdrew due to injury while the score was 6-1, 6-1, 1-0 in favor of the Spanish player. The 20-year-old Alcaraz, a two-time Grand Slam champion, dominated the match against the 18-year-old Chinese player for just over an hour on Rod Laver Arena. The Chinese player, known as Jerry, took a timeout for treatment due to a thigh issue while trailing 4-1 in the second set and decided to withdraw from the match after losing his serve for the sixth time at the start of the third set. Alcaraz will face Serbian Miomir Kecmanovic in the Round of 16.
