Alcaraz's 200th Tour Win Amid Time Violations

Carlos Alcaraz secured his 200th tour-level win after defeating Tallon Griekspoor 6-1, 6-2 at the China Open, becoming the second fastest player among all World No. 1s to reach this milestone. He will face Karen Khachanov in the quarter-finals. However, his tournament has not been without drama. In his first-round match against Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, Alcaraz received two time violations, leading to a heated argument with the umpire about the automatic shot clock regulations. Despite his frustrations, Alcaraz managed to win the match 6-4, 6-4. Alcaraz has frequently criticized the shot clock rule, citing it leaves players insufficient time to recover between points.
