The German, number 75 in the ATP ranking, received medical attention after spraining his left ankle, but ended up giving up when he was losing 6-2, 3-2 against the current champions.
The Spaniard will now face in the next round the South African Lloyd Harris (177th in the world), who defeated the Argentine Guido Pella (203rd).
“I have to give you credit [por ter tentado continuar a jogar]. I hope to be able to see him again on the track soon, ”said Alcaraz after lamenting the injury to his rival.
The Spaniard dreams of a second consecutive trophy at Flushing Meadows, which would also be his second Grand Slam of the year, after his historic win at Wimbledon against Novak Djokovic.
