Article on Fritz about Alcaraz

[stroke]

I think Fritz candidly tells it like it is facing Alcaraz. I like his candor.

Good piece. Thanks for sharing.f

We'll see if Alcaraz sustains the A+ game Fritz describes more often or for longer stretches.

Excerpt: Sounds like what Tsitsipas said after losing to Alcaraz at USO.

Fritz mentioned that he wasn’t under duress for the whole night, but when Alcaraz switched into high gear, he found it difficult to play with him.

“I did feel the level of the first three games was absolutely unbearable,” he said. “He was hitting clean winners off of 110-mile-an-hour second serves I was hitting into his body. I’m stepping up and crushing backhands cross, and he’s going open-stance backhand line winners off of that.

“That wasn’t the level for the rest of the match. I was able to settle in much more, and he wasn’t doing that the whole match. But he obviously possesses that level, and for those first couple of games, it was pretty overwhelming.”
