Juan Carlos Ferrero hails Alcaraz’s belief after Roland Garros final win

Carlos Alcaraz’s head coach Juan Carlos Ferrero hailed his pupil after Roland Garros final win against Jannik Sinner. In the fourth set, the Italian had three championship points but Alcaraz was able to save all of them on his serve.

The Spaniard won the penultimate set in the tiebreaker to take the match into the final and deciding set. Ferrero revealed that Alcaraz never gives up on court and lauded his belief after a memorable win. After losing the opening two sets, the 22-year-old lifted his level and came out as a winner after battling for five hours and 29 minutes.

“I think his strength is keeping believing all the time until the last ball is gone. And he tries and tries,” Ferrero said. “It was a thing [when] he was Love-40 in the fourth, this 5-3 [game], and he looked at me and still made [a motion to] me like this with the racquet, like saying, ‘I’m still here’, saying, ‘Vamos’.” 

“I’m not going to say that I was believing that he was able to recover from that 5-3, Love-40. But one more time with Carlos, everything is possible, and he did it again. Amazing [achievement].”

Alcaraz has won all of his five Grand Slam finals and he was able to bring his best when it mattered the most against Sinner at the Court Phillipe-Chatrier.

“Of course I think he [was] born to play these kind of moments,” Ferrero said. “Every time that we stay in these situations — even when he was younger in the Challengers, in the 250, in the 500 — when he had the big opportunities for him at [those] ages, he always went for it.”

Ferrero revealed his team tries to mentally prepare Alcaraz and said the youngster always wants to stay aggressive on the court.

“We try to prepare his mind for these kind of situations, like maybe the tie-break at the fifth set,” Ferrero said. “He went for it since the first point. [He is] very brave all the time and very aggressive trying to win the point all the time.”

Alcaraz would look to bring his best in the grass season.
