Carlos Alcaraz suffered a defeat against Grigor Dimitrov at the tournament in Shanghai, which greatly reduced his chances of being at the top of the ATP list at the end of the season.
Currently, the second tennis player in the world recorded a defeat against Janiko Siner in Beijing, so now the Bulgarian tennis player would be better than the Spaniard.
“It is true that I think he played very well. It was at a higher level compared to the matches we played before. He had no crashes. I thought the match would go differently after the first set, which was very difficult for him. I made some mistakes that weren’t significant at the beginning of the second set, but he didn’t let me get back into the match. I tried to play tennis, but I couldn’t. I defended myself the entire match, with no chance to play as aggressively as I wanted. I have to learn to stay focused in moments like the one at the beginning of the second set, when I wasn’t good at all. I always say that you can learn more from defeat than from victory. I will take with me many lessons that will help me to be better. I have to work harder on some things to beat the best. “Before I compete again, I will work on several aspects of the game,” Alcaraz said
On the live updated ATP list, Novak Djokovic has 11,045 points, and Alkaras has 8,805. As a result, the race for the first place on the ATP list has become significantly more complicated when it comes to the Spanish tennis player, which he himself is aware of.
“I want to play the best I can in Basel, where I will play in the next tournament. I know the goal of finishing #1 has gotten more complicated with these latest results. It will be hard, but I want to try. I will try to win the next tournaments,” added Alcaraz.
