At the press conference, Paul analyzed the challenge that will see him oppose the young Spaniard, underlining how he really enjoys playing against Carlitos.
“The serve is always the most important shot in men’s tennis. I will have to serve very well in my next match, but the return will also be important. We both have an aggressive style of play, he is extremely aggressive. He entertains the crowd and it is a lot of fun to play against him if I have to be honest.”
Finally, Paul expressed a comment on last year’s final that saw Alcaraz beat Novak Djokovic in the fifth set at The Championships.
“Really exciting match. Alcaraz played unbelievably and took the title. It was exciting to watch, I had no idea who was going to win before the match. We often think that Djokovic will win the match when he comes on the court, but in that case I had doubts,” he said.
