World No. 3 Carlos Alcaraz shared his appreciation for playing on clay courts.
He stated, “On clay, the serve isn`t as significant as it is on hard courts, and that`s a positive for me. Almost every point turns into a rally; there are few easy points on serve…”
“Yes, long rallies… Socks get a bit dirty. I missed this. On clay, you can witness true tennis because it`s not just about powerful serves and rallies lasting one or two shots. Clay offers extended rallies,” Alcaraz commented at a press conference following his initial victory in Monte Carlo.
