INDIAN WELLS, March 20 — Spanish 18-year-old Carlos Alcaraz was far from downhearted after a battling three-set loss to childhood idol Rafael Nadal in the semi-finals of the ATP Indian Wells Masters.
“I think I’m more mature than last year,” Alcaraz said. “Now I know how to play against these kinds of players. I played a lot of matches against great players. Second time against Rafa. I feel like I’m part of that level.Alcaraz said going into the semi-final that he expected it to be a much different match than his only prior meeting with his superstar compatriot, when Alcaraz won just three games in a blowout in Madrid.
“He has all the shots. He can play very aggressive. He can play defensive because he’s super fast,” Nadal said. “He can defend amazing balls. Of course, when he’s playing aggressive, it’s difficult to stop him because his quality of the ball is very high.” But nevertheless he said he felt early-match nerves something he thinks he’ll be able to control better next time.
