Carlos Alcaraz again took down a stern test in Alejandro Davidovich-Fokina to reach the semi-finals of Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell.
He sealed it 7-6, 6-4 but lost the lead in both sets admitting post match that he took some time to reflect and shift his mindset after the opening set. Next up is Dan Evans now as he looks to regain the title.
"It was really tough for me," Alcaraz assessed.
"I started playing pretty well, serving for the first set. I was not able to win [that game]... I was going really fast, a lot of things on my mind.
"[After the first set] I was talking to myself, positive things, trying to play long rallies, trying to [be there] through the points, trying to feel more comfortable with myself."

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
