Carlos Alcaraz suffered a shock second-round exit at the Cincinnati Open at the hands of veteran Frenchman Gael Monfils in a rain-delayed clash.
The match was left balanced on a knife’s edge on Thursday night when rain cancelled play for the night after Alcaraz took the first set 6-4 but found himself down 3-1 in the second-set tie-break.
When they returned to action under bright but windy conditions on Friday, it was 37-year-old Monfils who turned the match around to seal a stunning 4-6 7-6 (7-5) 6-4 success against the second seed.
