Carlos Alcaraz lost for words after shock Miami defeat

After his surprise defeat in Miami, Alcaraz was at a loss for words, admitting he felt good after Indian Wells but now was not sure.

“I know this part of the season very well; I’ve played great tennis in the past at these tournaments, but after what happened today, I don’t really know what to say.

“I think I was feeling good after Indian Wells, but now with this loss, I don’t know what to say. Mentally, I’m screwed, to be honest. This is a tournament where I want to do well, and losing in the first round hurts a lot.”

Alcaraz, who complained to the umpire about the serve clock rule in the second set, insisted the exchange had no impact on the match.

“Not at all, it didn’t make me lose focus. I just told the chair umpire that the time rule is ridiculous. They want to make tennis a little faster, make sure it’s there, but the margins are ridiculous,” the 21-year-old explained.

“I finished the point at the net and barely had time to do my routines, or even for the ball boy to do his job. You could see he was a bit confused, not really knowing what he was supposed to do.

“In the end, you waste a lot more time going to the towel, which is why I complained, because I feel like the time we have from the end of the point until we call for new balls is ridiculous.”
