Former tennis professional and Roger Federer`s former coach, Ivan Ljubicic, has shared his perspective on the upcoming semi-final match at the Barcelona tournament in Spain, featuring Spain`s Carlos Alcaraz and France`s Arthur Fils. It`s worth noting that Alcaraz recently defeated Fils at the Monte Carlo Masters in Monaco the previous week.
Ljubicic commented, “There might have been a psychological element in that previous defeat, but Arthur is aware that Alcaraz isn`t superior to him. Opportunities to win against Carlos are not easily earned, but if Fils creates such an opportunity, he is now better equipped to capitalize on it. He is in a continuous phase of growth. Consistent competition against the world`s top players is crucial. Arthur is rapidly progressing towards becoming a regular participant in the quarter-finals and semi-finals of major tournaments.”
Carlos Alcaraz has also spoken about the psychological challenges he faced during his match against Alex De Minaur in Barcelona.
