the Spanish player Carlos Alcaraz declared after his defeat against the Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime that he was not in the best physical or mental condition for the match, but added that he was satisfied with the tennis he played in this match of the final group stage of Davis cup.
“I am hurt by the defeat and not giving victory Spain, but at the same time satisfied. As usual, I haven’t reached one hundred percent physically, but I played a good game, it escaped me due to small details. I left everything on the track and I can’t blame myself for anything”, said the Murcian in a press conference.
Alcaraz reiterated that he was satisfied with his match as he had only a few days to adapt to a court where the conditions were very different from the United States Open and learned that his rival played a good match , where he asked for a lot and barely gave him a margin.
“I was at the limit all the time, I endured as much as I could but with a monster like Félix in front of me it was difficult, he was one of the best in the world and I was there, I had something to fight for but no I have shown my one hundred percent”, he added.
Alcaraz, who stated that although he has not fully recovered, he would play again if he could go back in time because he loves Spain’s defense, said that “we will try to recover as much as possible, this is the Davis Cup and here you have to leave everything for your country, for all the people who encourage you”, he pointed out.
Carlos also spoke in his press conference about Roger Federer and its withdrawal. “It’s a shame, when I heard the news I didn’t believe it. It’s coming but like that, out of nowhere what we found out yesterday, I was so shocked to think that we won’t see Roger on the slopes anymore. It’s something that hurts, but at the same time happy to have lived tennis watching him play. It’s a show,” he assured.
The young Spanish tennis player admitted that he will be left wanting to face him, after he measured himself against two other members of the ‘Big Three’, Rafa Nadal and Novak Djokovic.
“He is one of my idols, I would love to play against him, it won’t happen but he leaves a big legacy in the world of tennis. Everyone knows him, they know what he is, he is magic, he is. talent, pure watch to see him play. Everyone loves and appreciates,” he concluded.
