Alcaraz Dimitrov Miami

Carlos Alcaraz lost against an outstanding Grigor Dimitrov in Miami's quarter-finals on Thursday. He could't do anything to resist to the Bulgarian's amazing level of tennis. That's what everybody felt watching the match, and that's what the Spaniard confirmed in press conference.

Carlos Alcaraz: "I think he played an amazing tennis, almost perfect. I couldn't find solutions, I couldn't find the way to make him feel unconfortable on the court. It was a great match from his side.

I think I played a good tennis. I mean, I left the court thinking that probably I could have change my game a little bit earlier in the match. But anyway, I feel like I played a good tennis, not perfect but a good one. I feel... let's say... I have a lot of frustration right now because he made me feel like I was 13 years old again (laugh). It was crazy. I was talking to my team, saying I don't know what I have to do, I don't find his weakness. That's why I have frustration right now. But in terms of tennis, I left the court happy with my level.

I really want to see the stats. Probably the stats gonna give him a 10 out of 10, or 9.9. Something like that. But, I don't know. Once you step on the court, it's even tougher to find solutions. To see where you have to go or what you have to do. But, probably the next match that I will play against him, I'm sure that it's gonna be different. I'll try to do things differently. And let's see what it's gonna be. But, you know, seeing Grigor playing a this level, it's really tough to play against him".
