Carlos Alcaraz talked about his sportsmanship gesture during his match against Ben Shelton. At one point, the Spaniard hit a ball with his racket while it was in the air, something that is not allowed. But neither the chair umpire nor the American player saw it. Nevertheless, Alcaraz admitted that he let go of the racket and gave the point to Shelton in a beautiful display of sportsmanship. "I would have felt guilty if I hadn't said anything. It's about knowing that if I didn't do it right or made a mistake, wrong shots, or an illegal shot, I have to speak up. You know, I have to be honest with myself. I have to be honest with Ben, with everyone. I believe that's how sports should be, or should be fair to the opponent, to yourself. I said it because, like I said, I knew it was an illegal shot. It shouldn't be allowed, so I said it," confessed the defending Roland Garros champion.
