Aug 17, 2024 09:12 AMCarlos Alcaraz repeatedly smashed his racket on the court in a rare show of frustration on Friday, Aug. 16, and the four-time Grand Slam winner fell to Gael Monfils, 4-6, 7-6 , 6-4, at the Cincinnati Open.
“It never happened before, because I could control those feelings,” Alcaraz said. “Today I couldn’t. I was feeling that I was not playing any kind of tennis. It was really frustrating for me. At some point, I didn’t want to be on the court anymore.” Swiatek bounced back with a more complete performance after losing a second-set tiebreak on Wednesday before outlasting France’s Varvara Gracheva.
