Carlos Alcaraz feels like a fish in the water at this ATP Beijing, showing that great tennis he was eager to display. The player from Murcia is already in the quarterfinals and will seek a new final after so long. However, he still has to take it step by step and face Khachanov in the quarterfinals. Thus, before that, the world number 3 went through the press conference to talk about his feelings in Asia. He also commented on the appeal by the WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) regarding the doping case of Jannik Sinner, something that compromises the reputation of tennis.

- Regarding the Sinner case 

"These are very sensitive matters for Jannik and for tennis in general. After everything was decided before Cincinnati, after the ITIA said that Jannik said he hadn't done anything, now this is reopening. I think it's really not good for tennis, not a good sign. Something had happened, but after a few months, I thought it was closed, that nothing would happen again, that Jannik is innocent and they saw he hadn't done anything wrong. So, I started thinking about it and about myself. This month, I don't know exactly what happened, I just saw the news and was a bit surprised. What's going on, the case is reopening? I don't know what will happen in the coming months, but it's not a good sign for tennis."

- His support for the Italian: "He is capable of leaving everything aside when he's on the court, it's incredible"

"It's tough, it's a complicated and difficult situation for him. I know everyone is talking about it and it's in the news as well. Probably, as I said in New York, people started looking at him in a different way. I don't know how it will be, but I understand his position. Anyway, the way he is playing and the level he is playing with despite everything that's happening is crazy. He is capable of leaving everything aside when he's on the court, playing good tennis, it's incredible. I hope this ends as soon as possible and he can continue focusing on what he loves, which is playing tennis and moving forward. All I can say is I hope his people, those closest to him, won't feel bad in the coming months."

- On reaching 200 ATP victories

"Achieving my 200 victories on the tour has been a great accomplishment. I always try and want to win every match I play. I've only been on the tour for two and a half years, so reaching 200 wins is great for me."

- Ready to achieve good results in Beijing and Shanghai?

"I feel comfortable playing in Beijing, I think the conditions suit my style and my game very well. I just want to keep progressing, and I believe I played a very good and solid match today, I felt very comfortable. Hopefully, in the next round, I'll feel even better or as good as today. It's been a long time since I played a final and I'm eager to do it again. Obviously, in every tournament I go to, I try to play my best tennis to reach the final or win. In the last two tournaments, I didn't do it, I didn't feel as good as I would have liked. Right now, I feel prepared and I feel good, I feel my tennis is back. Every match is tough, but I feel ready to keep playing good tennis and achieve great results here and in Shanghai."
