Roland-Garros 2022 – Carlos Alcaraz does not want a night session against Alexander Zverev: “It would seem unfair to me”

More pressure on Mauresmo

Asked about this possibility, Alcaraz took a very clear position: for him, this quarter must be played during the day. Question of fairness. “It wouldn’t seem right to mehe advanced. Let’s tell each other things honestly: I’ve already played twice at night. I’m not saying that it bothers me to play at night but I have less recovery time, everything ends late… At best, you finish at midnight. But then you have to go home, have dinner, do physio, try to rest despite all the adrenaline of the game. It’s harder to recover. Being at night for the third time in a row, it would seem unfair to me“.

In this part of the table, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic only have one evening on the Central in this 2022 edition, while Alexander Zverev has not yet been entitled to this honor. This position of Alcaraz is likely to further increase the pressure around Amélie Mauresmo, new director of the tournament who faces her first delicate choice in her new function.
