Doha, Qatar: Spanish maestro Carlos Alcaraz made winning an ATP 500 title look effortless yesterday as he defeated Arthur Fils 6-2, 6-2 to capture the Qatar ExxonMobil Open crown with a commanding display in Doha.
At a packed Khalifa International Tennis and Squash Complex, the world No. 1 brushed aside the Frenchman in just 50 minutes to secure the 26th singles title of his career.
Olympic Council of Asia and Qatar Olympic Committee President H E Sheikh Joaan bin Hamad Al Thani handed the glittering golden falcon trophy to victorious Alcaraz.
The in-form 22-year-old extended his winning run ro 12 matches this year with his maiden Doha title, also stretching his outdoor hard-court winning streak to 30 matches, a run that includes his recent title victories at the Australian Open and US Open.
Alcaraz, who was beaten in the quarter-finals in Doha last year, said he returned with an aim.
