Later, Arias also emphasized his championship match against the Serb tennis star in the clay court major event. He said it was a strange situation for Alcaraz as he was playing against someone who was a 22-time Grand Slam champion at the time. But, he also believed that the Spaniard would be much more relaxed in the British Slam after having already faced the much more experienced player.
During the back-and-forth conversation, Arias further claimed that the young tennis star has the weapons of the ‘Big 3’ in the men’s circuit.
