Defeating France’s Moutet in the third round, Carlos Alcaraz came forward and talked about how he was discussing strategies with his coaching team and how that helped him win. 

“At the end of the third set I told my team, ‘I’m not running down the next drop shot.’ I was tired of coming to the net. I looked up at the video board and saw I’d gone to the net 55 times. It wasn’t an easy match, even though we both had fun,” Alcaraz said after the game.
