Alcaraz: “It’s fun to put aside that friendship, be selfish and think of me”

Carlos Alcaraz won his meeting this Saturday against Spanish also Alejandro Davidovich, Friends out of the track and where he exceeded two sets to reach, for the first time in his career, the final 1,000 masters of Montecarlo.

The number of three in the world, which could leave in the second place in the ranking if he declared himself a champion, emphasized that a friend is more peaceful but complicated by a personal relationship he manages to put aside.

“Against a friend, like Davidovich’s case, you can play something more silence because you know his level and you know the things he can do. It can make it easier. But it’s complicated because the friendship we have out of the track is great. It’s complicated. I’m happy to put that friendship away, be selfish and think about me,” Alcaraz said.

Murcian has already forgotten the pressure where he ran after the penalty on Jannik Sinner, As one in the world, and that at first weighted.

“People ask me about one’s pressure and number because Jannik Sinner can’t play tournaments. In a way I thought so much about it instead of playing tennis well and enjoying it. But after Miami I realized I needed to go on and the things I had to do. I just had to have a good time,” Alcaraz added that he was the best contest game.

“I don’t have to pay attention to the expectations or what people are waiting for. This against Davidovich is the best game I’ve played to this day. I haven’t entered him and come back,” he remembered.

“I am happy to reach this level but I think I can do better. At first, being the first contest on the land will focus on the adaptation. The ball is different, the game on the ground is different. But once adapted you need to improve and raise the level to the final,” Alcaraz said.
