NEW YORK -- Carlos Alcaraz's 15-match Grand Slam unbeaten run ended at the US Open with a sloppy 6-1, 7-5, 6-4 loss to 74th-ranked Botic Van De Zandschulp in the second round on Thursday night, a stunning result that eliminated the pre-tournament favorite.

This one was hard to predict, given Alcaraz's standing in the game, his excellence of late and his opponent's far-lesser resume.

Alcaraz won the French Open in June and Wimbledon in July to raise his career total to four major championships, including taking the title at Flushing Meadows in 2022.

But he never found his footing against Van De Zandschulp, a 28-year-old from the Netherlands. Alcaraz was way off, repeatedly missing the sorts of shots he usually makes routinely. After double-faulting to fall behind two sets to none -- a deficit he has never overcome -- the No. 3-seeded Alcaraz slung his equipment bag over this shoulder and trudged toward the locker room.
