Carlos Alcaraz continues to advance rounds in the ATP Rotterdam 2025, adding minutes on the court and getting closer to his potential first title on indoor hard court. Today, he dispatched Andrea Vavassori without difficulties, facing a great version of the Murcian player, to the extent of being described as 'unplayable'. Regarding that statement, another one from Richard Krajicek, and a curious reflection regarding his work team, Carlitos expressed in the post-match press conference.

- The importance of having a great team around him

"I believe the work they are doing behind the scenes is very important for me. As I have said many times, the more comfortable I feel off the court, the better I perform on it. Having my team with me, they are my family, so it is very important to create that good environment off the court."

- For now, a team only with members from his own country

"Firstly, in terms of language, it is much better for us to communicate. Honestly, it's not something that bothers me either. For now, it is like this, in the future probably... we will see, but right now the team is fine like this."

- Maintaining concentration throughout the match, a work in progress

"It is something I am working on, yes. What happened in the first round was that I had many ups and downs within the match, and I tried to prevent that from happening today. I am happy to have achieved it, to have improved what needed to be improved. Today was a great day for me, I felt very good. I am enjoying Rotterdam, I haven't been able to see much of the city, we are focused on each match, but I am very pleased with the atmosphere created here."

- Regarding Vavassori's words, defining him as one of the nicest and friendliest players on the tour and saying he was "unplayable" today

"(Smiles) He's also very kind. It's great to have these kinds of players here, spreading positive vibes. I didn't expect to win like this, but it's true that I played really well, I was very focused on him because he can play at a high level in singles. The last time we faced each other, it was a very close match. I thought that I had to do things right, focusing on myself."

- Richard Krajicek has said that your game is almost perfect, but you could save some energy if you won more free points with your first serve. Do you agree?

"Well, that's what I'm aiming for, that's why I've improved my serve, to be able to earn more free points. I'm working on it. I hope to keep improving to win those free points, but I think it's time to achieve it."
