Really flat balls that slip a lot through the court really low. It’s really difficult to increase the power that I want to in every shot and every ball.<\/p>\n “He’s really fast, so you have to earn every point. You might hit a winner against everybody, except him. I had to be really focused on that, so we knew I had to start the match really focused, increasing my speed, my pace in every shot.<\/p>\n “I tried to be aggressive and show him that if he wants to win, he has to play better [than me], more aggressive, more solid, and be smarter than me.<\/p>\n “I’m just really happy that at the end I found my way, played great, and obviously it has been a really emotional and amazing week for me.<\/p>\n “I learned a lot, to keep going forward, step by step, playing on indoor courts, and trying to gain more confidence playing on this surface.”<\/p>\n Alcaraz seized control from the \u200bopening stages, breaking De Minaur’s serve \u2060in the first game and \u2060quickly establishing a double-break advantage as the Australian struggled to deal with his intensity.<\/p>\n The seven-time Grand Slam champion raced through the opening, repeatedly punishing short balls \u200cand forcing errors from De Minaur.<\/p>\n Although De Minaur put up greater resistance in the second set and kept pace for long spells, Alcaraz closed out victory and secured his seventh \u200bconsecutive win over his opponent.<\/p>\n Alcaraz, who has already qualified for the season-ending ATP Finals in Turin, will head \u200bto next week’s Paris Masters brimming with confidence.<\/p>\n He takes on Jiri Lehecka or Alex Michelsen in his first match.<\/p>\n De Minaur, meanwhile, will turn \u200bhis attention to Paris as he continues his \u200bpush to qualify for the ATP Finals for a third consecutive year.<\/p>\n Vacherot rallies to beat Lehecka to win Swiss Indoors and clinch a second career title<\/p>\n Valentin Vacherot clinched his second career title after beating Jiri Lehecka 2-6 6-3 6-3 in the Swiss Indoors final on Sunday.<\/p>\n Twitter<\/p>\n This content is provided by Twitter, which may be using cookies and other technologies.
