“You lost 5-0 in the first set of the final. Did you see it at as a lost cause or did you always keep the faith?” asked the reporter. He gave a stunning reply to the question.

“No, I had faith because it is a ‘Grand Slam’ and there was a long game left and it was going to be long. I knew that I was going to have my chances and I did think that after the first set, I had to level up. It is also true that if I had lost the second set, I would not be here right now. But I believed in myself at all times. If I lose, I would have been just as proud of myself because I had a legend in front of me,” said Alcaraz, according to Marca.

Alcaraz’s belief in his abilities propelled him forward even when the odds seemed stacked against him. He approached the match with a determined mindset, fully aware of the challenges that lay ahead.
