"We finished late that day, but the tournament kept a restaurant open so we could get a late-night meal,” he said. “And it was funny — Alcaraz also showed up at the restaurant 20 minutes later. He was waving at us, and smiling as he went upstairs.

“I remember thinking he probably had much more fun than I did, because I had to play the next day. But also, there was no animosity from him either way: guys at the top of their game are that way."
