“I put in a lot of intensity to my tennis today and during the tiebreak, I hit two drives that made me realize how much I missed this feeling. Also, my forearm continues to improve.”
The men’s singles tournament at Roland Garros had been billed as one of the most open in years, with there being varying doubts over all top three seeds (Novak Djokovic, Jannik Sinner and Alcaraz).
And Alcaraz himself has had his say on who he believes the favourite for the title is, as we approach the second week of the tournament, “I still think that there is a large list of players who can become champions here. It is true that Sinner, Djokovic and I are acquiring rhythm and gaining confidence as the rounds go by, I think it is as if we are becoming more dangerous for the rest.” He continued, “However, anything can happen, there is great equality and the level of the matches that are coming up now, starting with the round of 16, is going to be very high and demanding for everyone.” Alcaraz will look to reach his third successive Roland Garros quarter-final tomorrow, when he plays Felix Auger-Aliassime in a first-time meeting on clay.More Tennis News
