PARIS : Carlos Alcaraz has reached two Grand Slam quarter-finals and lost both but the teenage sensation has no doubt he will soon win a major, once he improves his concentration.

Sixth seed Alcaraz had beaten Zverev in the Madrid Masters final earlier this month, but the German was a different beast this time as he remained focused throughout while the Spaniard suffered dips in concentration. "But at the same time it is tougher, because is tough to keep the focus, keep the level during three, four, five hours in a Grand Slam. I would say that's the difference."

"It was a tough match and close match I think. I could say I didn't start well, and at this level, quarter-final of a Grand Slam, you are playing against the best players in the world, so you have to start the match better than I did today," he explained.
