He ran out of Madrid, but the batteries had been recharged and did not lose the touch of the racket that sounded clean to the ball ball.

His quarterfinal match against American Tommy Paul deserves the “perfect” qualification of the Triple Swedish champion Mats Wilander. Another man in El Palmarés, coach of Murcian, Juan Carlos Ferrero. “Carlos has that level, but it’s very hard to get it in every game. When he plays without fear, brave, he is a player with the potential we have never seen. But there is another part: the harassment, hardship, kind of rival, the desire to win the contest. If Carlos performs, no pressure, it’s really a series.

In Paris it gives the impression that it all depends on Carlos Alcarazwho sent a message to his rivals, all prestige and quality.
