Alcaraz talked about his rivalry
A great rivalry was born on the field between the two talents, who have already faced each other six times in the ATP circuit.
The Spaniard talkedabout the differences from the match played in California two weeks ago: “I can’t say what was missing compared to Indian Wells, because I had my chances in the second set. I think I just missed taking advantage of those opportunities: the break points I had at 4-3 in the second set and those in the third to recover it.
In the end I didn’t make it, you pay for this against players like Jannik, with whom if you don’t take advantage of these opportunities you’ve practically lost. I think this was the big difference. For the rest, it was a very close match.”
