Shelton 6-7(5), 6-1, 6-3, 0-0* Alcaraz
Signs of life as Alcaraz makes it 15-15 and the crowd is sensing it too.
Shelton is keeping his cool and buries his forehand pass at the net — only to then see an Alcaraz backhand fire past him for 30-30.
Alcaraz hasn’t been here since the first set. He follows it up with another wonderful point played all around the net. These two at the net are a joy, and Alcaraz’s legs are officially not done yet!
The level is super high now as Shelton hits the lines and Alcaraz nets after a 19-shot rally to save the break point.
Same again as Shelton earns his first set point. Now the Spaniard’s legs look tired again.
And there it is! Alcaraz blocks but his backhand is long, and Shelton is a set away.
Wow. Incredible tennis once again.
