Former U.S. Open champion Carlos Alcaraz faced a surprising defeat on Thursday. He was beaten 6-1 7-5 6-4 by unseeded Dutchman Botic van de Zandschulp in the second round of the Grand Slam.

Alcaraz, who had a shaky start, could not recover and made unforced errors throughout the match. His loss marks the end of his 15-match winning run at major tournaments.
