" I do not understand what to claim at the moment," Alcaraz commented throughout his press conference. "To start with, I presume he participated in excellent he played actually excellent ping pong. I believed he was visiting give me even more factors-- I'm going to say more complimentary aspects, you recognize? He failed to produce a considerable amount of mistakes that I believed he was actually heading to carry out. "So I was actually [bewildered] a bit.
