Son calls Alcaraz a bastard after the thrashing in the Doha final
The ATP 500 Doha final between Carlos Alcaraz and Arthur Fils was a blink-and-you-miss-it affair. The Spaniard convincingly triumphed in just 50 minutes of play, leaving the crowd, and Fils himself, wanting more tennis. In a friendly manner, the Frenchman made sure to point this out in his speech after the final, addressing Alcaraz with these words: "Buddy ... you played very well. You did a great job. Just kidding. Congratulations to you and your team. I wish you many more. Keep it up."
