Kyrgios, who questioned Alcaraz after his victory against Matteo Berrettini had no choice but to surrender following the final. “Alcaraz is a phenomenon,” he wrote after the youngster from La Palma managed to win the second set in a tie-break.
If some how…. Like some how if Novak can turn this around, I’m convinced he is not human.
