Carlos Alcaraz doubted victory during the Roland Garros final.
He beat Alexander Zverev - 6:3, 2:6, 5:7, 6:1, 6:2.
To be honest, when the third set ended, I had my doubts. I won`t lie, I understood that Sasha could easily cope with my blows. He dominated with his serve and topspin. It was difficult for me. He ended up serving for the third set. I don`t know if it`s related to nerves.
I didn`t play my best tennis in the third set, but this is a Grand Slam final, so it was time to give it my all. It was time to find solutions, and when I led 40:0 at the beginning of the fourth set (actually 40:15 - Sports), it helped me calm down. I played my style and in the fifth set it was time to give it my all.
It was difficult. Sasha played great. He put a lot of pressure on both serve and return. In the fifth set I fought off a lot of break points. The score was 6:2, but I could have lost.
The fight was very stubborn. It was difficult because of the wind, shade and sun. I understood that I needed to adapt to the conditions, and I`m glad that I succeeded.
