An anecdotal first round but a much more challenging second round, still too simple for Alcaraz?

Griekspoor can be summed up as: strong with the strong and weak with the weak. He will always be there against the top players with a huge match against Zverev at Roland this year for example. He needs to have a high level in front of him to raise his own level and play his best tennis. When this is the case he can play easy top 20, great quality of serve, powerful forehand, good mentality, you don't want to play a Griekspoor in good shape normally. Then we talk about Alcaraz, he doesn't care who he has in front of him, he will impose his game and carry his balls. He leads 3/1 in direct confrontations with his only defeat in 2021 when he started on the circuit, we note only one spanking and for the rest the matches were relatively disputed. We must not forget that Alcaraz plays at 200% on each point, each shot even. He can't take his time and calmly manage his matches, which means he finds himself giving away free points left and right, if Griekspoor starts to find his serve and have free points from time to time with his forehand he could hold out for a while before cracking?
