Four-time Grand Slam champion, Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz, has revealed the phrase from his coach, Samuel Lopez, that became key to his victory at the Monte Carlo Masters.
“This is the first clay tournament of the season. I knew it would be very difficult and that in any case I need to stay positive. Probably, this is the phrase that my coach Samuel said most often this week. Stay strong and positive. Perhaps, it was the key to such a fantastic week: you need to face the difficulties that you have. Face them, don`t avoid them. I think it influenced me, because in matches you have to face them, not worry about them and not be afraid. When you realize them, accept them and face them, everything goes as it should. I think it was a great week, because we overcame all the positive moments,” Alcaraz said at a press conference.
