“Wrong is preferred, but I am ready for the challenge.”

They play the game against each other, even if they have another competitor in front of them. This is how Sinner went out to De Minaur, trailing in the first set, and overwhelming in the second. Alcaraz didn’t start out that way, he was a bolt from start to finish against Aliassime. Later, the Spaniard also released the truth: “Facing Yannick at home, on the inside, is the biggest challenge. With a string of thirty victories on this surface. The audience will be on your side, which will give you a lot of confidence. Number one means I’ve been playing very well all season, on all surfaces, and he’s played better indoors, and we’re in front of his home crowd, so I’d say he’s the favourite. “I don’t want to believe it, but I would say he is the favorite for tomorrow’s match.”

Murcian knows that he will have to strip himself of everything, and that there will be a rarefied atmosphere against him, as whistles were already heard when he appeared on screen during the Sinner match. An adverse atmosphere is rarely found, because he is popular at all courts and has only suffered some setbacks in France. “The atmosphere will be close to Davis Cup. The entire stadium will support him. But I’ll be ready for it. Like I said on the track, I hope there are at least two or three people in the crowd cheering me on. My friends are there and I wish I could listen to them more than other viewers. But it will be interesting and fun,” he even joked.

I slept He tells how he reached this tournament, how he won the group stage, how he beat Auger-Aliassime in the semi-finals, how he adapted to the field, how he speaks after riding the bike to recover and before going to rest, as the organization sent him to the night schedule. “In the hallway, I tell myself that I am ready, that I was born for these moments. You have to give your best, especially when you reach the final. I am ready for the challenge and ready to play good tennis. Let us think about what we can do, that something must happen to us, Go for it, don’t be afraid, be convinced. This is what I will repeat to myself tomorrow (Sunday) before going out on this path in the final.”

It’s the icing on the cake of the best year of his career so far, which debuted with an indoor title in Rotterdam and is confident of its potential. He added: Winning would mean a lot because I worked hard in the last part of the year and focused on being in good shape to play this tournament. So to come here and play good tennis and be able to lift the trophy at the weekend would mean a lot to me, even more. Jannik won Putting my name next to Orantes and Corretia would be great“.

And also in how he prepares when he faces Sinner, who has stuck around a bit because he has taken many important titles from him, and knows how to make his life impossible with a variety of rises and falls and take him out of his comfort zone. Here are the four finals they won by one defeat. Above all, the Roland Garros final in which he saved three match points. And also that backhand serve by Sinner a month later at Wimbledon. “I would love to see myself in these finals with Yannick. We raised our level to the maximum, and I think this is a great match to watch for tennis, for the tour and for the fans. “I think that means we’re doing very well.”
