Back after the injury, Carlos Alcaraz was having a smooth start at Rome Masters 2025. In the opening match, the Spanish player easily defeated Dusan Lajovic with a score of 6-3, 6-3. In the third round, his opponent is Laslo Djere – who is considered an expert on the ground.
Entering Set 1, Alcaraz entered quite slowly. He loses the gaming game in Game 3 and is led 1-3. However, the Spanish tennis player quickly came back by winning three games to overcome.
By the end of the set, Djere won an additional break and had the opportunity to end the set when leading 6-5 and held the serve in the game 12. At this time, Alcaraz has shown a great bravery to reclaim the break and put the set in the tie break a brain balance. Here, he won with an overwhelming score of 7-2.
Entering the two set, Alcaraz with good psychological momentum won two consecutive breaks to lead 4-0. Djere got the first winning game shortly after, but could not make a surprise. Alcaraz preserved the advantage until the end of the set. He closed the match with a powerful serve, causing the opponent to return the ball out.
In the end, Alcaraz defeated Djere with a score of 7-6 (2), 6-2 and officially went on. This is also the first time in his career in the fourth round of Rome Masters. Seed No. 3 will compete for the quarterfinal tickets with Khachanov.
Two other seeds, Daniil Medvedev and Alexander Zverev have relatively easy victories to continue in the fourth round. Meanwhile, Stefanos Tsitsipas continues to disappoint. The Greek player lost to Arthur Fils with a score of 2-6, 6-4, 6-2 and was eliminated early.
