Aka got back the second place in the world, and netizens laughed and talked about decompressing Ziwei, and playing without pressure became the secret of winning the championship

Musetti, who had fought four of his five matches, was unable to hold up last night, and a fitness crisis and injury in the deciding set finally allowed him to see Alcaraz win the title, which not only managed to win his sixth Masters title, but also managed to regain the world No. 2 ranking.

In fact, Alcaraz still had a good start this year, and despite losing to Djokovic at the Australian Open, he still showed his strength by winning the title in Rotterdam. However, the sky is unpredictable, in the sunshine doubles, Alcaraz suffered one after another upsets, and Miami was directly out of the tournament in his debut. Alcalá admits that all this has put him under great pressure. After winning the Monte Carlo Masters, Alcalá admitted that it has been a difficult month for him, both on and off the court. "I didn't want to say it publicly, but I struggled as soon as I stepped on the pitch. It's hard to find a way to keep yourself from thinking about everything. He said.

Many netizens commented, "It seems that both Alcaraz and Zverev are suffering from the same thing, they are both being dragged down by the huge expectations and unimaginable pressure from the outside world, which makes it difficult to maintain concentration on the field." ”

Perhaps for Zverev, losing the world No. 2 ranking is a good thing, but it can allow him to lower his profile and not have to think about competing for world No. 1 again, at least in the short term. As for Alcaraz, he believes that it is more important to continue to maintain this mentality now, not to be swayed by wins and losses, otherwise it is easy to return to the old form.

Speaking at his post-match press conference, Alcaraz said: "There is a lot of expectation in me and I have to do well on clay. They probably want me to win all the tournaments and I think it's going to be a lot of pressure. The most important thing I've learned in the past month is that you have to focus on yourself. My focus is on my team, my family, and my friends. Win or lose, I leave the pitch with a smile on my face and proud of my performance. That's what I learned this week, and I'm going to try to keep the same mindset as I did this event. ”

In addition, it is worth mentioning that according to the schedule of the ban date, world No. 1 Sinner was able to train normally last Sunday, but he still cannot compete normally! However, many are now looking forward to whether Alcaraz can shine at the French Open, or even meet Sinner in the final.

Alcaraz's answer to this question is still very calm, he believes that thinking too much about the ranking or the result will only disturb him, and for him, "playing without pressure" is more important, which is also the secret of his ability to win the championship this year.

"I realised that all I had to do was think about nothing and just enjoy tennis, so I didn't think about rankings anymore. Just stick with it and do what I love and make me happy. Just step on the court, show off your great tennis, and that's it. If I win, that's great. If I don't win, I'll learn, keep going, and do the things that make me happy. So rankings aren't my priority anymore, let's see what happens at the French Open next month. Sinner and I, yes, one might want to see that in the final. So, let's wait and see. Alcaraz said.

Either way, winning the first event of the clay season did raise expectations for the Spaniard, but to borrow a phrase from Zverev, "everything is probably returning to normal", and perhaps more intense competition is also recovering a little, and it is unclear who will be killed in this year's Musketeers Cup.(Source: Tennis Home Author: Lu Xiaotian)
