At the rate he's going, the 21-year-old from Spain might run out of skin. Alcaraz, though, noted Sunday that he assured his mother he will not keep printing the dates of every Slam victory for the rest of his career on his body. Of course, he said, he works on his defense. And his drop shots and volleys are valuable tools, as Zverev and so many others see.In the semifinals in Paris, he wore down Jannik Sinner — who replaced the injured Djokovic at No. 1 in the rankings on Monday, ahead of No. 2 Alcaraz — and came back from a two-sets-to-one deficit by grabbing eight of the last 11 games in a 4-hour, 9-minute match.
Alcaraz dealt with cramps against both Sinner and Zverev and said the real key, he has found, is in the mind.
