"I'm aggressive all the time" - Alcaraz after another win at Roland Garros

Carlos Alcaraz avenges his only loss on clay this year to Korda in Monte-Carlo by beating him in straight sets at Roland Garros 6-4 6-4 6-2.

Alcaraz hammered 24 winners and broke Korda four times to advance in two hours and six minutes, saying after the match:

“It’s amazing to play in such a great atmosphere. I think the people enjoyed the match and I’m glad to play in front of such a good crowd. In the early matches, I’m trying to have fun out there. I love playing tennis and playing on these courts, so I’m enjoying every second.”

A lengthy recovery process immediately following the match paid dividends against Korda. Showing no signs of his brutal battle two days earlier, Alcaraz scampered about the court and leaned into his powerful groundstrokes with full force:

"I would say that I'm aggressive all the time. It doesn't matter if I'm losing, winning, tough moment, tough match, I keep my style the whole match."

Up next for him at the French Open is Karen Khachanov and on that, Alcaraz said:

"I just practised with him once, but I've watch other matches from him, so I know that it's going to be a tough match. But at the same time, he's a tough opponent and I like those matches."
