Carlos Alcaraz didn’t have the week he was hoping for in Basel where he lost in straight sets to Felix Auger-Aliassime in the final 4. The Canadian player was vastly superior to the world number 1 who also committed an impressive array of unforced errors (15 vs. 7 winners). Carlito will try his luck again in Paris where he will be the seed number 1 in the local ATP1000 event.
After losing to the Canadian player, the Spanish teenager posted the following message on Twitter.
I tried, but today it wasn't possible! 🙁 Thank you Basel for the support this week! ❤️ Next stop: Paris! 🇫🇷 pic.twitter.com/ZZVqqczVvj
