Alcaraz relishes “special” Olympic final
Looking ahead to Sunday’s gold-medal match, Alcaraz said: “It’s going to be a really special moment for me, in my life, in my career, so I’m going to try and enjoy this moment because it’s going to be really difficult.”
“I will try to be focused on myself and try not to hear all this, all the fans, all the people that say I’m going to win. I just want to give 100 percent my best tennis and hopefully, I reach my goal to get the gold.”
