Alcaraz could recover the number of two in the world if the contest benefited from the premature removal of German wins Alexander Zverev. However, the Spanish side is the attraction to numbers and statistics and just want to focus on playing.
“I was paying attention to the numbers and that wasn’t perfect because I realized I had to play tennis before. I liked tennis, go to the track and do great games. I have to forget the ranking and everything else. Here in the world I will try to forget everything and play. Nothing else,” he said.

On the ground it’s hard to say whether it’s better to serve or not because almost everyone puts the rest inside and the point is played. You can make a good service, but they will deduct it to you,” Murcian said.
