Carlos Alcaraz: "I couldn’t train outdoors until the warm-up this morning, and I hadn’t played any matches on outdoor courts for a long time. I had trained indoors, but the feeling was completely different. The ball feels bigger, and I think the court is quite a bit slower than indoor, so it was difficult to adapt to those conditions and adjust my game. I was a bit frustrated not being able to show my tennis, my style of play, being aggressive, because the conditions didn’t allow me to. It was quite difficult, but I am very happy to have accepted it, to have understood how I had to play, and, obviously, to have achieved victory in the end. It was very important to have these feelings going into the next round and to know what I need to do from now on in the upcoming matches." (translated)
