Carlos Alcaraz wants to take revenge on Lorenzo Sonego
After winning his debut match against Richard Gasquet, during the post-match press conference, world number two Carlos Alcaraz è expressed himself bluntly about his opponent in the second round of the Australian Open namely Lorenzo Sonego, who è won in four sets over Daniel Evans.
"I don't like to be at a disadvantage with anyone in straight sets. The only previous one between us è was won by Sonego and that gives me extra motivation to give it my all and win. He defeated Daniel Evans in a very tough match. I will try to continue to improve and do my best to beat him and bring myself back to par,” began the Spanish tennis player.
"I felt pretty good and I think I played at a good level. I had a lot of opportunities that I was not able to take advantage of in the first set, but è normal after two months without competing. I think today was a little bit more difficult because I haven't played in a long time and it took me a while to find my rhythm" added the world number two.
"However, I am satisfied with my overall performance. I think I handled well mentally the part of the match where he canceled so many break points. I tried not to think too much about it, but I need to improve in that respect" concluded Carlos Alcaraz.
The only previous between the Spaniard and Lorenzo Sonego è was at the Cincinnati Masters 1000 in 2021, where the Italian won in two sets with a score of 6-3 7-6.
