Speaking about the difficulty while playing Opelka, Alcaraz revealed, “Nothing depends on you. It always depends on him.The way he serves, the way he plays from the baseline, you just have to be focused, put as many returns as you can in and try to be in the rally and win the points he lets you win."
He added,"It’s just difficult when you play someone who doesn’t let you play your game. It was a very difficult first round,”.
