US Open champion Alcaraz won the first eight games of Monday’s match and was comfortably two sets up in just 52 minutes. “I felt I couldn’t lose a game. I thought that I was able to win easier than I did, but a match can turn around in each game. But at the start of the match, I felt invincible,” he said.
