Carlos Alcaraz had an impressive start at the 2025 US Open when he defeated Reilly Opelka 3-0 (6-4, 7-5, 6-4) in the first round on the morning of August 26. The Spanish tennis player not only showed off his dominant playing style but also attracted attention with a completely new look with a crew cut.

From the very first shots, Alcaraz showed his destructive form. The biggest highlight of the first set was his serve games. The 22-year-old did not lose any points in all the games he served, an amazing achievement that showed his complete superiority in terms of skills.

The pressure from Alcaraz's powerful and tricky serves left Opelka, known for her serving ability, unable to find a way to counter it. Alcaraz eventually ended the first set with a score of 6-4.

In the second set, Opelka made remarkable efforts. The American player got the first winning point in Alcaraz's serve game. The match started to become more balanced.

However, with the spirit of a top player, Alcaraz still knew how to control the situation. He continued to maintain stability, taking advantage of the smallest mistakes of his opponent to end the set with a score of 7-5, creating a big advantage before entering set 3.

In the deciding set, the script did not change much. Alcaraz continued to play brilliantly, maintaining precision and power in each shot. He did not give Opelka any chance to turn the game around. Despite his efforts, Opelka could not find a way to break. Alcaraz easily won 6-4, thereby ending the match in just three sets.

This flawless performance was a resounding statement from Alcaraz about his title ambitions in New York. Not dropping a single service game throughout the match was not only an impressive record but also a stern warning to all remaining opponents.
