Today, Carlos Alcaraz was unstoppable. That's it. This was confirmed by Daniil Medvedev, not only suffering it on the ATP Beijing court, but also acknowledging it in the press room after being defeated by the Spaniard in the tournament's semifinals. The truth is that the Russian played a great match. He reached a level that could have easily beaten 90% of the circuit, but not a Carlitos who, when he is in a playful mode, is very difficult to overcome.

A tough battle

It was a very tough match because I feel that I played very well. There were many positives for me, but it is very challenging to play against Carlos when he is at his best. I played well, but I lost. It's not something that happens to me often, but against the Top players, this can happen. There's not much more I can say. I don't see how I could have beaten him today.

Chinese crowd

I love China. I love the Chinese fans. I feel that they like me. There are not many countries where I feel this way (smiles). On the court, they were definitely cheering more for Carlos. In the Laver, the crowd went crazy for Alcaraz, even more than for Sascha, and he is German. Today, I felt that things were a bit more even. It was a very fun match to play. It's strange to say this after a loss, but it was very enjoyable. I had fun. Looking forward to the next one.

Next stop: Shanghai

The cement tour after the Olympics has not been good for me. The US Open was a bit better, but at the Laver, I had two tough losses. I lost a super tiebreak in the third, which is not a real third set, but they were two defeats. I didn't feel very confident coming here, but I won three great matches and played very well against three top players. Today, as I said, I played very well against Carlos. I'm looking forward to getting to Shanghai and trying to continue with this positive momentum.
