Honest as usual, the Spanish player shares his frustration after the defeat: "I want to forget about this match, I couldn't control myself".
Carlos Alcaraz
The images are going around the world. Carlos Alcaraz smashed his racket out of frustration over the poor match he was playing against Gael Monfils in ATP Cincinnati 2024. The player himself explains what happened to lead him to that point: "I have felt many times on other occasions that I wanted to break the racket, but it never happened because I was able to control myself in those situations. Most of the time I was able to improve in matches, today I couldn't control myself, I felt I wasn't playing any tennis. It has been very frustrating for me, there were moments when I wanted to leave the court, I didn't want to be on the court. It has been difficult moments for me. Many players cannot control themselves at certain times throughout their careers, and it was that kind of moment."

Incredible triumph for Gael Monfils at ATP Cincinnati 2024, who arrived with little confidence in his tennis and caused a major upset against Carlos Alcaraz. The French tennis player, aged 37 years and 349 days, becomes the fourth oldest male player to defeat a Top 3, only behind Ken Rosewall, Jimmy Connors, and Roger Federer. This result will surely boost his confidence for the upcoming hardcourt season.

Corentin Moutet is an irreverent type. He speaks his mind and rarely remains silent, whether or not he is right in his claims. The Frenchman was very attentive to social media after witnessing how Carlos Alcaraz smashed his racket for the first time since turning professional, an outburst of rage uncharacteristic of the Murcian that surprised many. When one of the official ATP accounts tweeted the video and added "He really wants to win this match desperately," the Frenchman couldn't resist pointing out the double standard he perceives in the public. "However, when I do it, it's because I have a 'mental issue'," the Frenchman stated. Do you agree with his claim?

The theme of court speed has been one of the most recurrent topics in these early days of the ATP Cincinnati 2024. Several players agree that these are the fastest courts they have ever played on in their careers, a factor that Carlos Alcaraz did not hesitate to criticize in a press conference after being eliminated by Gael Monfils: "It's like playing a different sport".

An image that we will surely see repeated for a long time. Carlos Alcaraz, for the first time in his career, lost his nerves to the point of completely destroying his racket in scenes we had never seen from his part. He will surely not feel entirely proud of what he did, but it was a result of the frustration he was experiencing in a not very good resumption on his part, where the wind made him feel no connection at all with the ball.
