Carlos Alcaraz returned from a brief injury layoff with a 6-3, 6-3 victory over Serbian qualifier Dusan Lajovic at the Italian Open.

Third seed Carlos Alcaraz is vying for his third title of the year and his second Masters 1000 crown of the campaign, having already triumphed in Monte-Carlo

Carlos Alcaraz will make his debut in Rome against Dusan Lajovic shortly. It will be very interesting to see the condition of the young Spanish ace, who had an injury to the adductor of his right leg and did not practice much before this tournament wanting to avoid risks.
