ai generated text
Carlos Alcaraz, a four-time grand-slam champion, lost to Gal Monfils in a deciding set, with a score of 4-6, 7-6 (7-5), 6-4. This was his first match since the Olympics and the Cincinnati Open. In the match, Alcaraz was warned by the umpire for hitting his racket three times in quick succession.
I've been practising really well. I was feeling great. But I couldn't play. I want to forget it and try to move on to New York.
It never happened before because I could control those feelings.
I felt like it was the worst match that I've ever played [in] my career.
I want to apologise for my attitude yesterday, it was not good and that should not happen on court.
I'm human, the nerves had accumulated and sometimes it's very tough to control when there is that tension. I will work so that it doesn't happen again. Now it's time to think about NYC!
