Carlos Alcaraz said he played the “worst game” of his career after losing to Gael Monfils on his debut in Masters 1,000 on the hard court Cincinnati (USA)4-6, 7-6 (5) and 6-4.
“It’s very difficult to find something good in this match, so I want to forget it and try to move forward New York. i will go US Open and I will try to train hard, to get used to those tracks. And I will forget this match because I think it is impossible to get something good out of this match,” Alcaraz said in his press conference.
“I felt it was the worst game I’ve played in my career. I can’t play. I’ve been training a lot here, the last few days I’ve been feeling great, hitting the ball clearly, moving well, but I don’t know what happened. I don’t know what I felt but I couldn’t help myself. It’s impossible to win this match,” added the Murcian, who destroyed his racket with four violent hits on the ground after losing the fourth game of the final set.
“Sometimes I feel like breaking the racket. This had never happened to me before because I could stop myself in those situations, in those sensations. Usually I can control myself and I can do better in matches or in the situation I feel before, but today I couldn’t control myself because, like I said, I don’t feel like I’m playing anything. type of tennis. I think a lot of players, during their careers and at times, can’t control themselves. And, for me, it was one of those moments,” explained Alcaraz.
