"When it's so hot, we try to focus almost exclusively on serving," Alcaraz discusses the heat in Cincinnati

When it's so hot, we try to focus almost exclusively on serving, Alcaraz discusses the heat in Cincinnati
le 13/08/2025 à 14h12

In a press conference, Alcaraz revisited the topic of extreme heat in Cincinnati. Although he says he is accustomed to it because of his native region, the Spaniard admits that these conditions are still difficult to handle.

"When it's so hot, we try to focus almost exclusively on serving. It becomes so complicated that you forget about the opponent, although I also try to think about how the other person feels.

I come from Murcia, and it's very hot there, so I'm used to it and try not to be affected by it. Nevertheless, when I see that the opponent is suffering, it's obviously difficult."

Located in Ohio, the temperature in Cincinnati is close to 40°C. Extreme playing conditions for the players, which have led to some impressive scenes. This week, we saw the French player Rinderknech collapse in the heat and the Argentine Comesana on the verge of vomiting.

2...an incomplete match is not a loss. If a player forfeits we pick another match if there are more to choose.

3...this also applies if TT cancels a match. TT will not take hours to decide an outcome.

How about leavin...

It's a shame that so many matches are being canceled. TT ,you are destroying your game ,and thereby killing your app. I don't know how many matches others have had canceled , but I'm at 3 and it's only thursday.

As a long time player and lover of this game , I don't know how much of this I can tolerate. For example I waited hours last night for you to confirm my win and post my points. Every ot...

This week I have used all my formulas and best guesses to try to achieve the high score jimandlori958 set in our last competition. I am two games short because of cancelations and I need all wins to get there.

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Grenier and Hsu at the Kobe tournament? The match was played to completion and on time.

Grenier def Ysu 6-2 , 6-2 at Kobe today and the TT canceled the match.

2nd for me this week.

An impressive win.. Congrats to our winner this week, jimandlori958 and with a score that could not be caught or matched. I don't remember a 56 in a while with our group. Nice to see everyone using the 2 point predictions. Can't win without 'em.
