Carlos Alcaraz was on the ropes in his Australian Open semifinal match against Alexander Zverev, largely due to some cramps that almost knocked him out of the tournament. The most comedic moment happened at the beginning of the fourth set when in the midst of his personal ordeal, Alcaraz headed to change sides with an attitude that suggested a retirement.

Even Zverev thought that was the case until the world number one signaled to him that he was still in the game. In fact, during a press conference, the tennis player from Murcia confessed that he never considered withdrawing and that his only intention was to let Zverev pass, which puzzled 'Sascha'.
