Carlos Alcaraz: ‘I don’t think I’m going to go back home’

A significant upset occurred on Thursday at the Queen’s ATP 500. Carlos Alcaraz, the defending champion, lost to British sensation Jack Draper, who earned a trip to the quarterfinals with scores of 7-6(3) and 6-3 in an hour and forty-nine minutes.

It was a match between two very confident and in excellent form tennis players. The three-time Grand Slam champion arrived at Roland Garros having won eight straight matches, and he had also won 13 straight matches on this surface since last year.

The other player arrived having won Queen’s and Wimbledon the previous year.

Since he triumphed at the ATP in Stuttgart last week and entered the match with the Spaniard having won seven straight, Draper, for his part, is among the athletes who is better fit on the grass.

The British left-hander defeated the reigning champion and world number two, who will drop significant points, to record one of the most significant wins of his career.

In stopping a tennis player who had gone nearly two years without experiencing a loss on this court, Draper had played one of his best matches ever.

“I think the best way to be better on grass is to stay here, practice with players, physically doing good stuff on grass and the movement, really specific things,”

Said three-time Grand Slam champion Carlos Alcaraz in response to his lackluster performance during the match. We don’t have grass courts or particularly green areas where we may practice here in Spain or at home.

I intend to remain here. I have to speak with my team, but I’m getting near to Wimbledon, so I’m going to concentrate on player practice as soon as I can. I want to improve. I doubt that I will return to my hometown.
