We are building a really special competition, from the Grand Slam finals to the Masters final. And that is growing. Thanks to Sinner, I was forced to devote 100% of effort every day, each training session to maintain the necessary level if I wanted to defeat him. I need to have a high level to overcome Sinner ”

In the end, Alcaraz asserted that he did not feel sad because he learned how to accept defeat: “Last year in the Olympic Games, I collapsed after the final. It was difficult to accept defeat. But through many different situations in the past year, I learned how to accept everything in the way they came.
Today, I lost a Grand Slam final, but I still felt proud that I was there. I'm not sad and still smiling. Because in my mind, playing a Grand Slam final was a great thing, and I was grateful for that. ”
