This year Alcaraz has won two Grand Slam singles titles, the French Open and Wimbledon, within a few weeks. But had an up-and-down performance in the second half of the season.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
On Wednesday, despite not feeling fully recovered, Alcaraz's performance was all about resilience as he lifted his game to clinch victory in 96 minutes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He won four consecutive games from 2-3 in the first set, exploiting Rublev\u2019s occasional lapses in ball control. Although Rublev steadied himself in a hard-fought second set, he couldn\u2019t keep Alcaraz from taking the match in straight sets, which culminated in a dramatic tie-break where Alcaraz saved set points at 5\/6 and 7\/8.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I feel like in the last match I couldn\u2019t hit good drop shots, and I was thinking, \u2018What\u2019s going on?\u2019,\" he said. \"My style, my game, it\u2019s about playing these kinds of shots and enjoying the game. So I tried to do it today.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Alcaraz\u2019s 31 winners, compared to Rublev\u2019s 14, highlighted his command of the match. With his versatility, Alcaraz could adapt to Rublev\u2019s baseline-heavy tactics, running down shots from all parts of the court and executing winners from tough positions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Reflecting on his focus amid feeling unwell, Alcaraz added, \u201cOnce you step on the court, you have to forget everything, your struggles outside, and focus on hitting a good forehand, a good backhand, and making good tactics against the opponent.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
