"I will enjoy the experience": Coric looks ahead to facing 'favourite' Alcaraz at Madrid Open

Carlos Alcaraz will take on Borna Coric in the Madrid Open semi-final and the Croatian is looking forward to the chance of playing him even if his chances look bleak.

The Croatian is unlikely to beat Alcaraz in Madrid though stranger things have happened. His serve is a major weapon and he won an ATP 1000 last year in conditions that favoured his serve. Madrid does as well so he can certainly make it interesting. Even so, he's fully aware that Alcaraz, as the defending champion is the favourite in the match.

He'll just go out and try to enjoy it as much as possible:
