Alcaraz: "I'm leaving the court with my head held high".
Carlos Alcaraz ultimately failed to win the gold medal for which he had come to Paris.
The youngest-ever finalist in the history of the Games, Alcaraz, who had played at a very high level in the Olympic tournament, came up against a certain Novak Djokovic in the final (7-6, 7-6).
Inevitably disappointed and deeply moved, the Spaniard made no secret of his disappointment. He gave it his all, but the Serb was a little stronger: "It's painful to lose the way I did.
I had chances to take the lead in the first set, but I couldn't take them.
Novak played very well. He deserves this win. In difficult moments, he raised his game.
He played some incredible shots and had an incredible match.
I'm disappointed, but honestly, I'm leaving the court with my head held high. I gave it everything I had.
Fighting for Spain meant everything to me. I'm proud of the way I played today (Sunday)."
