Here's What Carlos Alcaraz Said During Post-Match On-Court Interview
“Honestly, I feel I've played better matches this year here – against Tommy Paul, for example. Obviously Daniil and Tommy have differing styles of play and you have to adapt your game to both matches. But I’m coming into a final feeling great, with a really high level of tennis, moving well, with a really high level of confidence for really good results on Sunday. It's great to be back in a Wimbledon final and I’m going to enjoy it for sure."
"I’m not going to lie – it’s difficult switching from clay to grass. Everybody could see at Queen’s that I didn’t play well and had a lot of work to do. I needed hours of practice on grass just to be better, to try to feel as comfortable as I can. There’s no secret to it. You have to put in work and trust that it’s going to be better."
"So I had this in my mind and I thought – again, against me. I thought – again, against me. I said something not unpleasant, not over the line. I got a code for it. The meaning was not nice here. I don't know why we don’t use the Hawk-Eye challenge system for a double bounce. It would be so much easier.”
"I go into every match thinking that I have the chance to lose. Every match, it’s a war. Your opponent is going to play his best tennis to beat you. I’m working on controlling my nerves. Having them is normal and good. But when you’re not controlling it, it’s difficult to deal with situations and play your best tennis – that’s what happened to me in the first set here."
“I was struggling to play calmly on my service games. It was in a rush. After I lost that set, I calmed myself and started to play better. Honestly, since the tournament began I have not thought I’m the defending champion. I try to be better every day, to play better tennis every match.”
