US Open, ATP > Alcaraz acknowledges that coaching helped him beat Cilic: “When Marin increased his first-serve percentage, my team recommended me to step back, and the truth is that it worked”

I saw that my high and heavy ball was making his life difficult and he couldn’t find an answer, and that gave me a lot of opportunities for the rest. »
