What happened
Carlos Alcaraz took his time to warm up, but finished in red-hot form as he beat Jaime Faria to reach the third round at the US Open. World number 72 Faria took the first set off the still ring-rusty Alcaraz, who is playing his first tournament since suffering the wrist injury which kept him out of the French Open and Wimbledon.
