Alcaraz sulks. The world number two does not hesitate to make it known. Beaten in the second round by Jack Draper on Thursday (7-6 6-3) at the Queen’s tournament, the Spaniard felt too rushed, because of the new rule on time to serve.
Indeed, since the end of Roland-Garros, the countdown imposed on a player to make his throw – 25 seconds – starts from the end of the previous point and no longer when the referee announces the score. A development which does not please the last winner Porte d’Auteuil.
« Today (Thursday) I felt like I was in a hurry all the time. I didn’t have time to bounce the ball (before serving) and get into my routinecomplained the defending champion at Wimbledon.
