Spanish Carlos Alcaraz said this Saturday that he felt “Home” in Indian Wells, where he started defending his double crown with a steady success 6-4 and 6-2, against French QUENTIN HALYS.
“It’s not an easy game, it’s not easy to control emotions, control the nerves. I’m nervous at first, I know I need to be pure, calm down, control emotions and play a good tennis,” Alcaraz said on the foot of the track after his success in 67 minutes against Halty.
“Then the nerves have passed and I did well. The title defense began,” Murcian added, number three in the world rank.
Alcaraz will face Canada Denis Shapovalov In the third tour of the contest, where he is the player with the best ranking after German removal Alexander Zverev Against the Dutchman Tallon Griexpoor.
“I feel at home here, it’s important to play a good tennis. Good conditions, I love to play here. Fans are so good to me and this support helps me,” Alcaraz said.
Murcian added that he lacks “small things” for improvement for the next game but emphasized that he is continuing “high confidence.”
