Carlos Alcaraz will soon play two exhibition matches against Frances Tiafoe and Joao Fonseca in the United States. A fan of this type of event, the Spaniard justified his participation: "For me, the main difference lies in the fact that in a tournament, you have to stay focused, which is physically and mentally demanding.

An exhibition match only lasts one day. You just need to stay focused, warm up and train a bit, and that's for just one match. You can interpret an exhibition match in different ways.

You can do it just for fun, play beautiful tennis, make nice shots and enjoy yourself. Or you can take it very seriously and use tactics and game plans to reproduce them in tournaments. I will try to take these matches seriously, while having as much fun as possible."
