The words of Carlos Alcaraz

Carlos Alcaraz's adventure at the Australian Open ends in the quarterfinals. The Murcian tennis player, in fact, è was defeated in a comeback by Novak Djokovic, who è managed to impose himself after a hard-fought match despite not being in perfect physical condition. Speaking at a press conference, the Spaniard acknowledged that he made a huge mistake during the match.

"I felt I was in control of the match, but I allowed him to get back into the match. That è the biggest mistake I made today. Then he pushed me to the limit and there was nothing I could do. I had to do better in the second set which was not in top condition. Nole started feeling better, regaining his confidence and expressing a high level of play. He played the crucial points well, hard to find a way when you play at this level" began the Spanish tennis player.

"When you see someone suffering physically, you don’t play at the same level. It seems like the match will get&easier, but at the same time you tell yourself that you can’t make a mistake. You don’t hit the ball just like you did before. He started to play more aggressively. After è it was very complicated to contain him. We all saw that Novak suffered in the second set, he was struggling to move. Then in the third and fourth he seemed to be completely healed. I don’t say he did it for show, we simply all saw that in the second partial he was suffering, while in the later ones è he was better" added the world number three.

"We always play good matches against each other. We always push each other to the limit by playing incredible points. I am lucky enough to live these matches. I am 21 years old and I learn so much from these matches. I have already achieved great results in tennis, but facing one of the strongest in history helps me become a better player" concluded Carlos Alcaraz.
