BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Top-seeded Carlos Alcaraz won his first title since his milestone U.S. Open triumph by beating Cameron Norrie in straight sets at the Argentina Open on Sunday.
The world No. 2 overcame No. 12 Norrie 6-3, 7-5 in the clay-court final.
"I felt very comfortable," Alcaraz said. "This is the level that I have to play in a final. It is really special, I struggled in these four months."
A right leg injury sidelined Alcaraz from the Australian Open, with Novak Djokovic reclaiming the No. 1 ranking from Alcaraz after winning the title there.
The 19-year-old Alcaraz dropped only one set — to Serbia's Laslo Djere — in his first tournament of the year.
