Quotes
Carlos Alcaraz
Spanish tennis player and defending US Open champion
“The way he plays is unbelievable, the rhythm he has on every shot: forehand, backhand. His balls skid a lot on the court and, for me, it’s really difficult to control sometimes. But I think I stayed there. I played aggressive, I played smart in the toughest moments.”
