More work needed for Alcaraz

After Beijing, Carlitos suffered another disappointment in Shanghai, losing to Dimitrov in the Round of 16 after defending all match. His dream of finishing as world number 1 by the end of the 2023 season is becoming more and more elusive. Nevertheless, the Murcian is keeping his spirits high and has decided to get back to work to become even more successful next season. Indeed, the last few opponents who managed to beat Alcaraz insisted on certain weaknesses in his game and foiled him. Dimitrov, for example, never ceased to counter Alcaraz with incessant attacks on his backhand. This destabilized his concentration at key points. As a result, the young Spanish prodigy will be looking to improve both his game and his tactical morale. In the meantime, he will be competing in Basel, the Paris Rolex Masters and the Masters in Turin.

Vamos Carlitos!
