Jaime Faria and Carlos Alcaraz: Carlos Alcaraz leads 1–0 across 1 recorded meeting.
Two games into the second set the match had been re-sorted, Alcaraz breaking for 2-0 and again for 4-0 after his only break chance of the opener went unconverted. The second ball decided it. He won 27 of 39 points behind his second serve, 69 percent, while Faria managed 15 of 49 behind his own and handed over 11 double faults. The 70th-ranked Faria had earned the opener behind 83 percent of his first-serve points, breaking in game 7 for 4-3 and again in game 10 to take it, but he held only nine of 16 service games across the match. By the fourth set Alcaraz was at 90 percent on first-serve points against three unforced errors; 2 hours and 40 minutes in, the US Open title defense moves on having conceded a set for the first time this week.
