NICE, France (AP) — Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz continued his strong form by beating No. 15-ranked Borna Coric of Croatia 6-3, 6-7 (6), 10-5 in the Hopman Cup on Saturday.

The top-ranked Spaniard, who beat 23-time Grand Slam winner Novak Djokovic in a five-set Wimbledon thriller last Sunday, had only three aces compared to six for Coric but saved the two break points he faced. It was Alcaraz's second straight victory here after winning against David Goffin of Belgium on Friday.

Since clinching the Queen's Club Championships final last month for his first grass-court title, Alcaraz has not looked back. The exhibition event is at the Nice Lawn Club in southern France, with mixed teams representing their nation in singles and doubles.

Alcaraz was playing again later Saturday in doubles alongside Rebeka Masarova against Coric and Donna Vekic.

The tournament final is schedule for Sunday.
