Spain's third seed, Alcaraz

Alcaraz said: "I think everybody saw him struggle a little bit in the second set, then in the third and fourth, I didn't see anything bad about him, I'm not saying, he was putting on a show, I just said that everybody saw him struggling in the second set, but he played really well in the next two sets. ”

Seeing Djokovic's physical condition, Alcalá admitted that he was a little affected, "When you see someone struggling, you feel like you're not playing like you used to, and you think don't make mistakes, maybe you didn't hit the ball like you used to, I think that's it." ”

Alcaraz said: "To be honest, I felt like I was in control of the game, but I put him in the game again, which was the biggest mistake I made, in the second set I had to play a little bit better to push him to the limit, and now he has a bit of a problem moving himself in the second set, I have to push him to the limit, but I didn't, I didn't, and after that, I think he started to feel a little bit better and played at such a good level. ”

When Djokovic returned to form, Alcaraz felt it became more difficult to play, "It was a very close game, I think most of the key points were scored by him, I mean, when Novak played at this level, it was really difficult to find a way out. ”
