Carlos Alcaraz’s coach, Juan Carlos Ferrero, was brought to tears after the former defeated defending champion\u00a0Jannik Sinner\u00a06-7(6), 6-4, 7-6(3) in the final of the 2024 China Open, which lasted three hours and 21 minutes.<\/p>\n

“That’s a good thing to know, I guess (smiling). But yeah, I mean, it was a really special win for me, lifting this trophy in front of my team, part of my family. It was a great moment for me,” Carlos Alcaraz said.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Reflecting on his big victory, especially after a lackluster performance during the North American swing, the Spanish tennis star mentioned that the team had been through some challenging times recently, which might have contributed to his coach’s emotional reaction.<\/p>\n

“I guess he got emotional at the end because we all know what we went through the last month or the last two months. It was a really difficult moment on the court, off the court,” he added.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Carlos Alcaraz\u00a0is all set to make his second appearance at the Shanghai Masters. The third-seeded Spaniard received a bye into the second round, where he will take on Shang Juncheng on October 4. The winner of this match will face either Chinese wildcard Wu Yibing or 25th seed Nicolas Jarry in the third round.<\/p>\n

The Spaniard’s next appearance will be at the ‘Six Kings Slam’ exhibition alongside\u00a0Novak Djokovic, Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, Daniil Medvedev, and Holger Rune.<\/p>\n

Nadal shared on Instagram that he has begun practicing, posting a story of himself hitting forehands at his tennis academy in Manacor.<\/p>\n
