“We are both physically strong,” said the German, who was defeated by the Spanish 6-3, 2-6, 5-7, 6-1 and 6-2 in 4h.19′ of the match.

And he can do many different things,” said Sascha Zverev, who is tied (5-5) in the record with Alcaraz, now 1 -1 that he is better in the quarterfinals of the 2022 edition.
He emphasized that “Alcaraz started to play much higher, much deeper” in the fifth set. “He’s a fantastic player,” he concluded.
And a mirror to look at yourself. “I have to reflect and see with my team how to reach that level.”
