C. ALCARAZ/S. Korda

6-4, 7-6, 6-3

THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.

Q. Just comment about the match and about your feelings today. It was hard in the second set.

CARLOS ALCARAZ: It was a really good match. I felt really well. Moving on the court, hitting the balls, physically I felt amazing, honestly. Really demanding match, but really happy with the way that I deal every point, difficult moments, everything.

I think today he was up and down, so I was really happy about it. Really happy with my level of focus since the first point until the last one.

Q. You have changed your serve recently. Can you talk a little bit about it and what's the change?

CARLOS ALCARAZ: I change a little bit. We were working on it. Yeah, it's something that I have to improve, and I think it was a change that I think is going to be really helpful for me just to improve my serve game a little bit.

It's just about the movement. It's just about stay better on the serve. It wasn't a big change, but it was about the movement a little bit.

Q. Still winning the first set, you feel a bit more free, you know, to hit the ball with your forehand. Can you talk about the feeling you got and the sensation you get to hit the ball with the forehand.

CARLOS ALCARAZ: Well, as I said, today was I think more demanding match for me. At some point I forget about everything and I hit the forehand normally, let's say.

I think during the whole match, I hit my forehand really well, with more intensity. In the second set tiebreak I hit it to forehand, and I thought that I miss it. I miss this kind of forehand, this kind of moments. Yeah, I felt really well after those shots.

Yeah, it's something that's getting better and better.
