- At the end of the third set, I thought I would lose.
I knew I had to change something, otherwise I would lose, says 19-year-old Alcaraz, who after the big breakthrough of the spring is ranked sixth in the world.
Before the tournament, he was seen as a serious contender for the title - where Rafael Nadal has 13 dents from Paris.
It was a real islet that physically took on the 15-year-old opponent Ramos-Vinolas at Roland Garros in Paris.
"Fought to the last point"
- I feel tired.
It was a fierce battle against Albert.
I knew it was going to be a great match, a tough match.
We fought until the last point and I am so happy with my effort today, says Alcaraz to the organizer of Eurosport's broadcast.
Alcaraz will watch the match to learn a lesson.
- I need to learn from this type of match, this type of situation, Alcaraz says according to AP.
Alcaraz has 18 wins and a loss on gravel this season.
In the next round, Alcaraz meets the person who beat him last time: the American Sebastian Korda.
