Carlos Alcaraz He is trying to find himself after Wimbledon heading into the US Open. Although he still had time for it Cincinnati Masters 1,000 As the next stop before the New York Major, the world number 1 admitted he did not have an easy week in Toronto after losing in the quarterfinals against Tommy Paul.
“This week has not been good. I tried to find my good level, my style, but in none of the games I felt uncomfortable. There were moments that were maybe better than others but overall there wasn’t a game where I felt good on the court. I always fight with myself, I try to find my level and I don’t succeed”, said Alcaraz, mentioning the balls in the context of the comment of Daniel Medvedev who complained about his slowness after his defeat Alex De Minaur.
“The balls influenced a little bit, but as I always say that we are tennis players, we are always traveling and we have to adapt to what comes. It is really complicated that every week we play a different balls and different conditions but we have to adapt”, reflected the Murcian, who gave credit to Paul. 2-1 in favor of the American in the Spanish face-to-face.
“He really is a complete player. The games we played were difficult, last year, in Miami (with victory for Alcaraz) and this. He is really solid, very good, big shots and he is very fast. There is no doubt that he is one of the best players in the world, tough on every surface, he is It’s all mixed up.” The world number 1 stood out, continuing his self-criticism ahead of the US Open so that the same thing does not happen to him at the New York Major:
“Maybe I can improve on everything. I have to prepare myself better, I’ve been doing what I’ve been doing but maybe it’s not enough. I need to be more focused at the beginning of the games, because it is difficult for me in all of them (it started with break below). This is something to improve for the following tournaments, and the US Open, which is the biggest. You need to put more emphasis on the beginnings, be more concentrated. Maybe I have to set a routine for the first games, this is something I should discuss with my team”, Alcaraz analyzed.
The tennis player from El Palmar also featured the performance of Alexander Davydovich, who will face this Saturday (18:30) at Alex De Minaur on the semifinals: “It’s great to see a Spaniard doing well, fighting for good things. I’m so happy for everything that’s coming his way, I wish him all the luck in the world. Let’s see if it brings another victory for Spain, I’ll be supporting them and hopefully that happens”, emphasized Carlos Alcaraz.
