ATP Game Recaps
Saturday’s ATP slate was defined by dominance at the top and volatility everywhere else. Carlos Alcaraz barely broke a sweat in Doha, while Delray Beach delivered high-level serving battles and comeback pressure. In Rio, the weather stepped in and froze two semifinal paths mid-match.
From straight-set control to three-set resilience and suspended clay-court tension, the betting angles were clear. Serve efficiency, break-point conversion, and composure under pressure shaped the day. Even in matches that did not finish, momentum and hold patterns started telling a story.
Alcaraz vs Fils Recap: Alcaraz wins 6-2, 6-1
Carlos Alcaraz needed just 50 minutes to defeat Arthur Fils and claim the Qatar ExxonMobil Open title in Doha. The top-seeded Spaniard extended his 2026 record to 12-0.
Alcaraz won 88.9% of his first serves and converted five of seven break points, overwhelming Fils from the baseline and on return. Fils, who had upset Jiri Lehecka and Jakub Mensik earlier in the tournament, could not match the consistency or hold under pressure.

Unseeded Sebastian Korda continued his run in Delray Beach with a straight-sets win over third-seeded Flavio Cobolli.
Korda fired 12 aces without a double fault, controlling the tiebreak and then pulling away in the second set. After knocking out Casper Ruud in the quarterfinals, he now advances to the final seeking his first title since the 2024 Washington Open.
Paul vs Tien Recap: Paul wins 4-6, 6-4, 6-3
Tommy Paul dropped the opening set to Learner Tien but rallied to secure a three-set semifinal victory in 2:14.
Paul uncorked 15 aces and saved seven of eight break points, tightening his serve under pressure. Tien saved three of five break points but could not maintain the same level deep into the match.

Vit Kopriva built a 5-4 lead over Tomas Martin Etcheverry before rain suspended their semifinal in Rio.
Both players held serve throughout the match, though Kopriva fended off a break point to maintain his edge. The match resumes Sunday with margins still extremely narrow.
