The Spanish tennis player defeated Daniil Medvedev this Friday and will now have to fight against the Serbian to enter the final of the tournament to be held in Turin.
Carlos Alcaraz managed to enter the top four of ATP Finals after Daniil Medvedev and now he has to go Novak Djokovic to enter the final. Heading into the clash, the Spaniard said he was ready and “stronger than in June” when the Serbian defeated him at Roland Garros.
“Today I am stronger than in June, compared to Paris. Now I can handle pressure and difficult moments better“said the tennis player who is second in the ATP ranking and recalled the time Nole beat him 6-3, 5-7, 6-1 and 6-1 in the semifinals in Paris: “I couldn’t handle the pressure. I learned that. Then came Wimbledon and Cincinnati.”
And I added: “To face Nole, you have to be very strong mentally and deal with the pressure that will take you to every ball, to every point. I think I learned from that. “I think I’m ready to face him.”
