Carlos Alcaraz, the world's second-ranked player and defending champion at the Madrid Masters 1000, was roughed up Friday for his tournament debut. The 19-year-old Spaniard lost the first set, victim of the waste in his game, and continued to suffer from his inaccuracies until the middle of the second set.
The Norwegian Casper Ruud, 4th in the world and No. 3 seed in Madrid, was eliminated dryly as soon as he entered the competition in the second round.
