Alcaraz gave the key to the incredible evolution of his game: “We knew it was very important”

Carlos Alcaraz was very difficult in Miami. The world number 1 was seeded on Thursday in the semifinals of the second Masters 1000 of the season after defeating Taylor Fritz (6-4 and 6-2) in a true tennis exhibition that delighted the crowd that packed the track.

“This was probably my best tournament game so far, though I think I’ve been playing pretty well every game. I feel comfortable on the court in every match, so I’m very happy,” Alcaraz said in the post-match press conference.

The Murcian has been playing at a very high level for weeks, especially on servekey to his great improvement this season.

“When I started working with Juan Carlos, we all knew he needed to improve his service. I’ve had problems with my abs for a long time, and I can’t train as much as I’d like,” he explained.

“But since I felt better about my abs, my body in general, I started working out a little more. This is something we focus on. We know that serving is very important in tennis and I need to improve. Now, my serve is good, I think,” he added.
