World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz beaten by Japan's Taro Daniel in second round of French Open.
The 20-year-old Spaniard will now face Canadian left-hander Denis Shapovalov for a spot in the knockout round. In the absence of Rafael Nadal, victim of a stubborn muscle injury and off circuit for an indefinite period, the Murcian is the main contender for the title with Novak Djokovic. No one has won more matches on clay than him in 2023: now 22 out of 24 played.
