🎙️ Carlos Alcaraz about Jannik Sinner’s match yesterday and the heat in Melbourne:
“The truth is we already saw, or already knew, that we were going to have that very hot and intense day yesterday. I practiced for 35 or 40 minutes and I could already feel the heat, so I couldn't imagine playing a match in those conditions.
“I think I’m going to have [those conditions] on Tuesday. But truthfully, it was a very intense day. Obviously, I watched Jannik’s match; since I like watching him, I followed what was happening.
“And well, those are situations where you just have to push through; they are very complicated situations. When you are dealing with the heat or things external to the game itself, sometimes it becomes much more difficult. But once again, Jannik showed what a champion he is, what a great player, and how good he is at coming out of those situations so 'unscathed,' so to speak. But obviously, the physical problems are always there, and I’m sure he will do his best to recover.”
🇪🇸🤝🇮🇹
