“Once you step on the court, you have to forget about everything else,” he said, emphasizing his commitment to leaving any concerns off-court and playing his best. Surprising himself with the quality of his baseline shots and serve, Alcaraz felt proud of the way he managed to push through, showcasing his resilience.
