In Montecarlo the two samples shared a exchange session. Carlos his rival number 1 and the Serbian point strong strong: “Favorite for Roland Garros”
Carlos and Nole have crossed like two old schoolmates. A training and some chat to confront this season of red that opens in Montecarlo with similar goals: get to Roland Garros as competitive as possible.
The Spaniard to defend two thousand heavy points in a season until here Avara of joy, the Serbian to touch 25. If in Paris he had to conquer the title he would become the tennis player with more Slam in history, also overcoming Margaret Court who remains obstinately at 24 from 1973: “I feel more favored for Roland Garros, on the long distance of the 5 sets than for a Masters 1000”. The right -hand orzaiol that had conditioned him in Miami where it was a step from the 100th title you still see: “I risked not being there – he said – also because I had a virus last week”.
Carlos’s pressure
–
Alcaraz has no physical problems, jokes during the day dedicated to the media but is serious when they ask him for the reason for his flexion in the results. A reason that bears name and a surname, and a bush of red hair: “Someone thought that, only for the fact that Sinner did not play, I and I Zverev We should have won everything and play better than before. This was not and is not correct. I am not surprised to have not become number 1 again. Many asked me, to take advantage of this period of absence of Jannik to return to the top. And this pressure probably killed me, in some way. Even if Jannik is not playing, I’m too far from him and on earth I will not have a chance to go up. I can only try to give my best. “A Sinner who, almost almost, makes him a pinch of envy for the three months of forced holiday:” I would also like to have a month of stop every now and then, without doing anything … – he said -. We play for 11 months no stop and the intensity that is required of our body is always too much “.
