Carlos Alcaraz, the world number three from Spain, advanced to the last 16 of the Olympic Games tennis tournament after defeating Tallon Griekspoor 6-1, 7-6 (7-3). Despite experiencing a groin injury that required treatment during the match, Alcaraz downplayed its significance, stating, "The leg isn't a problem, it's a tennis player's life, it's just a niggle." He acknowledged that while the second set was more challenging, he was pleased to secure the win in straight sets. Alcaraz, who has already won the French Open and Wimbledon this year, is also competing in men's doubles with Rafael Nadal. His next singles match will be against Roman Safiullin, who is playing as a neutral athlete due to sanctions. Alcaraz's performance reflects his resilience and determination as he continues to pursue Olympic gold.
