Alcaraz turned things around this time though he needed some help from his opponent. The No. 3-ranked Alcaraz clinched victory for Spain against the Czech Republic when Tomas Machac retired injured with the score at 6-7 (3), 6-1. It gave Spain an unassailable 2-0 lead with Roberto Bautista Agut having already defeated Jiri Lehecka. It was Alcaraz’s first match since losing to Botic van de Zandschulp at Flushing Meadows.
