Carlos Alcaraz was a happy man after his first Grand Slam final at the US Open: “What I experienced today is unbelievable.” “In the semi-final you have to give everything, fight to the last ball, it doesn’t matter if you fight for five hours or six,” said the Murcian tennis player about the four-hour, 18-minute fight with Frances Tiafoe. The Spanish tennis player, who reached the final after playing five sets in the eighth finals, quarter-finals and semi-finals, acknowledged that “there have been three matches of five sets, very long and demanding.”

He (Ruud) played the final at Roland Garros, this is my first time… I’m going to give everything, I’ll have to control the nerves to be in a final, but I’m very happy ,,I’m going to enjoy the moment and see what happens,” the Murcian recognized.
Carlos Alcaraz knows that he is entering a historic moment and that the final will be difficult, not only because of the rival. “I will have to control my nerves in my first Grand Slam final, but of course I am very happy and I will enjoy every moment. We’ll see what happens.”
“My English is getting better and better. What to say about all Spaniards, many people are from Spain, many people who come from all over the world to encourage me and be with me in this very special moment for me. Three matches until five very long sets, very demanding, I have strength thanks to you who encourage me every point and every ball. This final is as much for my family, for my team, for me as it is for all of you. Thank you very much”. It ended before a central court given to the Spaniards.
