“It’s great to share a court, to share the locker room , to share everything with you,” Alcaraz said while paying tribute to Jannik.

“It had been two spectacular weeks, at a very high level tennis-wise, but above all mentally, which I am very proud of. The first US Open title was about my youth and this one is about maturity. Little by little I am growing,” he added.
