Jack Draper (Winner, Saturday, Semi-Final, Carlos Alcaraz 6-1, 0-6, 6-4): “It is clear to defeat the carlos in this stage of the short tournament. I saw the best players in the world for years and it’s an honest feeling. It is clear that I have another task to achieve tomorrow (This Sunday in the final with Holger Rune, at 10 o’clock.) Then I can only express my feelings and emotions, but I am very proud of myself.
There is always doubt before playing against Carlos. I’m always afraid to lose against every player I face at this level. I always feel excited because I know how strong these children are. Often, some players are in court and are unable to win the best. Now I played several times against Carlos, I watched him on the TV and I thought it was applied to an incredible tennis, but I thought I could create some problems because I was at least.
It was a crazy match. At the beginning of the match, I expected to play in an incredible, but here and there was a little mistake and a little energy was missing. I felt a little lethargic in the second set, and my feet stopped working, it’s not clear when trying to give them all. As I said, it was a new experience for me. Then I went to the bathroom, I looked in myself in the mirror and said: “I really need to go back to his hand” (smile). There was no need to be tired. There was still many tennis to play. I just made sure to get to the task and bring a lot of energy to the third gang. This is clearly an important victory for me, because if I know it, I would be in the top 10. “
