Alcaraz ATP Finals

Carlos Alcaraz had to battle to overcome Taylor Fritz at the ATP Finals in Turin. The Spaniard needed 2 hours and 50 minutes to win in three sets.

He had lost the first set, despite having an early break. When asked about his feelings, Alcaraz stated: "After the first two return games, I had chances: in the first one, I had opportunities, and in the second one, I managed a break.

After that, I don't know what happened; I lost confidence on the return. I think he served very well. Honestly, I was disappointed not to be able to return a single serve. It was really difficult, even mentally, to stay focused.

However, I am very happy I found a solution. I simply stepped back one meter to have more time to return the ball. I had to run more, especially on the first two or three shots of each rally.

But I am very happy I had enough energy to hold on and win points. I am playing really, really well right now.
