Carlos Alcaraz, who fell this Sunday in the round of 16 at Wimbledon, said he would leave the tournament “with his head up” after losing to Jannik Sinner.
“I haven’t started well. I have started very nervous,” the Spaniard commented at a press conference. “I made a lot of mistakes in the first two sets. Jannik played very well, better than me. Starting 2-0 is a handicap, it’s very hard to turn it around. I didn’t take my chances in the fourth, I lost a lot of break points. ‘. In Roland Garros I also started very badly. I need to improve it. “
“I didn’t come with high expectations,” said Alcaraz, who has not played on the grass this season before Wimbledon. “I’m leaving with my head up, I’m leaving after a great game with Sinner, knowing what I need to improve, that’s a lot, especially in Grand Slam. I’m doing well for having been able to try to turn it around, “Alcaraz added.
On what needs to be improved, Alcaraz stressed “mental stability”. “Now, like a lot of games, there are a lot of ups and downs. Sometimes my game is good, sometimes the game isn’t good. Knowing how to manage my nerves better, the central court has imposed on me a lot”.
“The essence has imposed on me, what is behind that court. Knowing all the historical matches that have played here. It is called the cathedral of tennis.”
Alcaraz explained that after Wimbledon he would return to clay and play Hamburg and Umagwhere he defends the title.
