Korda credits self-belief for victory over Alcaraz in Monte Carlo
ATPThursday, 14 April 2022 at 02:30
In one of the most exciting matches of the season, Sebastian Korda held on to defeat Carlos Alcaraz in the second round of the 2022 Monte-Carlo Masters on Wednesday.
The American's impressive arsenal of shots was on display in the 7-6(2) 6-7(5) 6-3 victory over the Miami Open champion, rallying from a break down in the third set and windy conditions to pull off the upset.
“It was nice to get the victory today, Korda said in his on-court interview. “I stayed calm and believed in my returning. It was super tough, every time he threw up the ball it moved around. It was a crazy match.”
Korda gained revenge for his defeat to Alcaraz at the 2021 Next Gen ATP Finals, where the Spaniard triumphed in the championship match.
The World No. 42 will next face Indian Wells champion Taylor Fritz as he aims to reach his second quarter-final of the season, after advancing to the last eight in Delray Beach.

- 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".
