Carlos Alcaraz defeated Tallon Griekspoor of the Netherlands 6-1, 6-2 at the China Open in Beijing on Sunday to capture his 200th career tour-level victory.
Alcaraz, 21, joined Jannik Sinner and Felix Auger-Aliassime as players born in the 2000s to achieve that feat. The Spaniard won 100 per cent of points on his first-serve points (23 of 23) and needed just 57 minutes to defeat Griekspoor, who had two winners to go with 24 unforced errors.
Alcaraz is the second-fastest player to reach the milestone, with only 52 career losses. Only John McEnroe had fewer losses when he joined the 200-win club (200-45).
In the quarterfinals, the second-seeded Alcaraz will meet Russian Karen Khachanov, who was pushed by Francisco Cerundolo of Argentina in the 7-6 (4), 7-6 (9) battle. The seventh-seeded Khachanov pulled out the win despite 22 unforced errors against 17 winners.
Chinese wild-card Yunchaokete Bu upset sixth-seeded Lorenzo Musetti of Italy 6-2, 6-4.
Top seed Sinner of Italy and third-seeded Daniil Medvedev of Russia also will be in action in the quarterfinals in Beijing on Monday.
