The audience disappeared through the tennis match in Madrid
Last year, Alcarazz defeated German Zverev in five sets, and this Sunday, in one of the best Grand Slam, the finals of all time, after five hours and 29 minutes, defeated Jannik Sinner 4-6, 6-7 (4), 6-4, 7-6 (3), 7-6 (10-2). Alcarazza celebrated despite 0-2 in sets, and in the fourth set he saved three tied match-balls.
– I really have a privilege to share the terrain with a sonner. It is an honor and I’m really happy that Jannik and I create tennis history. Sinner is a great inspiration not only to children around the world, but also to me. This is one of the best finals in the history of the Grand Slamo – said Alcarazza after the final victory, reaching the fifth Grand Slam Pehara in his short career.
– I feel wonderful. I was losing 0-2 in sets, and Jannik played amazing. I didn’t think about the result at all, I just told myself that I had to play the best tennis, nothing else. I really went a point point, and the obstacles were constantly appearing. I managed to skip them and I am really immensely happy and proud. There will be celebrations, I guarantee, there will be a great celebration for this victory – Alcarazza concluded, while the Italian tennis player had a hard time choosing words.
– It’s true, I’m proud because I realized at this Roland Garros that I could play again at the highest possible level after the break I had. But, honestly, of course this defeat hurts a lot. I missed a lot. I had three match-lopes, I was serving for a match in the fourth set. But, I forgot below the match on it. I didn’t exactly give him points. Then I went back to the game myself. It was absolutely tiring and mentally and physically. It seems to me that I cannot compare this match with any of the previous ones. All honor to Carlos, such matches are a big plus for our sport. I will not sleep well, but let’s go on – concluded Jannik Sinner.
