This morning, Carlos Alcaraz has successfully defended the Indian Wells Masters championship. In the final, the Spanish tennis player defeated Daniil Medvedev after 2 sets with score 7-6 (5), 6-1.
Sharing after the match, Alcaraz revealed that he had an ankle injury before the tournament: “Today's victory has a great significance for me. Because a week before the tournament started, I had ankle pain and was not sure I could attend. I remember my first training here lasted only 30 minutes, and I could not even move.
Even so, when I came out, I started to feel better. I was treated every day. I think I may have to play with a little pain, and this is very normal for a player. I and my team tried my best to recover in time.
Talking about the match against Medvedev, Alcaraz said he felt a bit worried when he was taken to 0-3 in set 1: “I was a bit stressed when I started to enter the game. Everything was difficult, and my shadow feeling was not really good.
However, after the previous 3 matches, I thought I could completely turn the situation. And then I started playing better. I calmed down, began to control my emotions and found a way to win. ”
Crowned at the Indian Wells Masters 2024, Alcaraz relieved the thirst for the title lasting 8 months. The last tournament he won was Wimbledon 2023.
