Tennis: Alcaraz hails ‘best physio in world’ after victory at Tokyo Open

# Tennis: Carlos Alcaraz said he had the “best physio in the world” after shrugging off concerns about an ankle injury to beat Zizou Bergs of Belgium in the second round of the Japan Open. The world number one had said he was “scared” after landing awkwardly during his first-round win over Sebastian Baez on Thursday. But the 22-year-old Spaniard looked in little trouble as he cruised to a 6-4, 6-3 victory over unseeded Belgian Bergs to set up a quarter-final against Brandon Nakashima in Tokyo.
