Carlos Alcaraz hits out at ‘crazy’ court rate after Paris Masters exit
Carlos Alcaraz has actually discussed exactly how he has actually discovered it hard to adjust to the fast problems in Paris this year, after shedding to Ugo Humbert in the 3rd round.
Alcaraz was defeated by the French No.1, 1-6 6-3 5-7, to proceed his reasonably bad document at the last Masters 1000 event of the year.
However, it appears that Alcaraz is connecting his very early exit a lot more with the rate of the courts this year in the French funding, “I mean, it is very difficult to play in these conditions. For me, for my level, I try to change up as much as I can to this court, to this speed. I thought that it suits pretty well to my game, but it doesn’t.
“When I play against someone like Ugo that he doesn’t let you get rhythm into the match, he plays probably, every time at his 100%, really flat. So I couldn’t play good tennis. I practice at home but it isn’t the same court that I thought. So I didn’t surprise about my level, about my game, but I was surprised about everything a little bit.”
This is the last time that this event will certainly be kept in Paris-Bercy, with the occasion readied to transfer to the Paris La Defense Arena following year.
And the last occasion in the Accor Arena has actually definitely triggered some discussion, being classified as the fastest court on the ATP Tour this year

“This court. I mean, I don’t want to say something that there is going to sounds an excuse. You know, first of all, Ugo deserves to win, that’s obvious,” described the World No.2. “But it’s depend. Because I play, for example, the Davis Cup indoor court, and the court was way slower than this one.”
The four-time significant victor proceeded, “So, I mean, when I play the first match, you know, the stats came out that it is the fastest court in the Masters 1000, probably on the tour right now. This is crazy. I don’t know. Probably and the fastest one, you know, in the last ten years in this tournament.
“So I don’t know why they do it. I don’t know why they have changed a lot, you know, a court from other tournaments and obviously in the same tournament, you know, comparing to other years. So it surprise me a little bit, so I came here with not too many days. Probably I had to came, you know, earlier to get used to these conditions but I didn’t. But, you know, honestly all I can say is I don’t understand why they did it.”
Congratulations @HumbertUgo for the win last evening and all the best for the remainder of the event! See you following year Paris! ❤
