\n \n World No. 135 F\u00e1bi\u00e1n Marozs\u00e1n provided what the ATP Tour called<\/a> the \u201cshock of the season\u201d by upsetting Carlos Alcaraz in straight sets<\/a> at the Rome Masters on Monday.\n <\/p>\n \n The 23-year-old Hungarian stunned second seed Alcaraz 6-3 7-6(4) to reach the fourth round<\/a> after putting in a nearly flawless display in Italy.\n <\/p>\n \n Marozs\u00e1n, who is playing in his first ATP Tour main draw after having to battle through qualifying, unsettled the 20-year-old Spaniard throughout with his combination of drop shots and deep groundstrokes.\n <\/p>\n \n \u201cI\u2019m very happy, I couldn\u2019t imagine this one,\u201d Marozs\u00e1n said after his remarkable victory.\n <\/p>\n \n \u201cIt was my dream last night. Now, it\u2019s true I\u2019m very happy about this. Yesterday, we spoke about this match, I told you I\u2019ll just try to do something special and win a few games or maybe a set. I just beat our [world No. 2.] He\u2019s our best in the sport, so I\u2019m really happy about this.\n <\/p>\n \n \u201cI slept well \u2026 there was no problem with my sleep! Everything was perfect today. The crowd, the weather, the court, so I\u2019m just very happy I\u2019m doing my job.\n <\/p>\n \n \u201cIn the tiebreak, it was 1-4 then I won six points in a row. It\u2019s amazing. I don\u2019t know what happened during the points. I just tried to reach back every point and do my best.\u201d\n <\/p>\n \n Marozs\u00e1n became only the fourth player ranked outside the top 100 to win their maiden match against a top-two ranked opponent at an ATP event in the last decade, according to Opta<\/a>.\n <\/p>\n \n Alcaraz is one of the favorites to win the French Open which begins later this month after an excellent season so far.\n <\/p>\n \n The 2022 US Open winner entered the match with a 30-2 record for the 2023 season but couldn\u2019t cope with Marozs\u00e1n throughout the encounter.\n <\/p>\n \n Marozs\u00e1n broke Alcaraz early in the first set to race into a 3-1 lead and managed to maintain serve to hold out for the early advantage.\n <\/p>\n \n The second set was a much more even affair, with the pair breaking each other as it ebbed and flowed before Marozs\u00e1n produced a stunning comeback in the tiebreak \u2013 coming from 4-1 down to make it 5-4 \u2013 to close out the famous win.\n <\/p>\n \n He had already beaten world No. 67 Corentin Moutet and world No. 39 Jiri Lehe\u010dka in the main draw, but the victory over Alcaraz is the pinnacle so far.\n <\/p>\n
