Carlos Alcaraz éliminé d'entrée lors de son premier match au Rolex Paris Masters ! Le jeune numéro 2 mondial Carlos Alcaraz faisait son grand retour au Rolex Paris Masters après son élimination prématurée au Masters 1000 de Shanghai, dès les huitièmes de finale. Forfait à Bâle la semaine passée et en manque de rythme, l'Espagnol a été piégé ce mardi soir par le Russe Roman Safiullin, 6-3, 6-4. Touché au dos et au pied ces dernières semaines, Alcaraz manquait de repères et n'a jamais pu prendre l'ascendant complètement sur son adversaire. Malgré une éclaircie et un break obtenu en début de deuxième manche, la copie rendue a été terne. Crise de confiance avant les ATP Finals. Et problème physique ? "Pas du tout" a assuré le principal intéressé.

00:00 "Well, he didn't surprise me at all because I knew that he has. He has been playing at
00:08 a great level these last few months, beating big guys, reaching finals. So I knew that
00:16 he was going to play at a high level and he didn't surprise me at all."
00:22 "Not at all. I just didn't feel well on the court. A lot of things to improve, a lot of
00:33 things to practice. I didn't feel well in the game. I think I didn't move well in the
00:50 shots. I think I had a good quality of shots but physically in the part of movement I have
01:01 to improve a lot."
01:03 "I don't know. I have time before the ATP finals. A lot of days of practice to be able
01:17 to reach that level, the level that I want to play. But right now I'm not in the right
01:24 time to talk. Honestly, after the loss I have to take some time before thinking about the
01:41 next days, what I have to do or what I'm going to do. But obviously before the ATP finals
01:50 begin we have time."
01:53 "I don't know. Probably the season has been so, so long. Probably that affects my game.
02:16 But I don't know. I think this tournament has a lot of surprises. I don't know because
02:22 it's the end of the season, players are tired. But talking about myself, I don't know honestly.
02:32 I have to figure it out and I'll try to next year to be better in this part of the year."
