The Swiss and the Spaniard achieved it twice, a first for the tennis player from Murcia, who continues to increase his tally. Already with the title in hand, Alcaraz had words for his two tour rivals, Medvedev and Novak Djokovic, who are also not competing in Miami. This win puts Carlos back on top, but he still shows his usual humility.
Referring to his rival in the final, Alcaraz had nice words for Medvedev. “I want to congratulate you on your work over the past two months. To win three tournaments in a row and reach the finals here is an incredible achievement.«. The Russian entered on a 19 game unbeaten streak where he beat players the size of Djokovic, Zverev or Rublev. However, he was unable to cope with the young Spaniard, who dominated the match from start to finish.
Carlos also had words for his family and technical team, assuring them it was a tough few weeks after his injuries. «Thank you very much for everything. I know I’m very young and I have a lot to learn and it won’t be easy, but Thanks for all your work, it’s been amazing. I started the year very well, but I’ve had some injury problems, so I want to thank you for being with me, for being patient and for all the hard work.
Finally, he talked about returning to number one and Novak Djokovic dethroning him to second place. «Returning to number one is like a dream come true again. Novak is one of the best players in the world. That’s clear. If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best. I want to play Novak again. We miss him on the track and hope to have him back soon. Of course it would be great to play against him again.»
