The world’s first racket Carlos Alcaraz said that during the French Open semi-finals, his whole body started having cramps. The Spaniard noted that he has never felt such emotions after a defeat in his career.
On Friday, Alcaraz lost to Serbian Novak Djokovic, third racket of the tournament, in the semi-finals of Roland Garros with the score of 3:6, 7:5, 1:6, 1:6. During the meeting, the 20-year-old Spaniard took a medical leave.
— It was very hard for me. Honestly, I’m disappointed in myself. But these things happen and I have to deal with them. The first and second sets were very intense. I started having arm cramps. At the start of the third set, I started having cramps in all parts of my body. It was very difficult for me to move, in the fourth set I had a small chance, but it was very difficult. The whole body was convulsed.
The tension before the match played a role. I started the match very nervously. Now learned a lesson from this game. Yes, I had cramps, but I would say not at this level. Today was very hard. I have never felt such feelings,” Alcaraz told a news conference.
In the final, Djokovic will meet the winner of the match Kasper Ruud (Norway, 4) – Alexander Zverev (Germany, 22).
