    Right. Alcaraz is a super cool guy and
    quite honest. Despite his young age,
    he has already achieved amazing things
    like US Open singles victory and ATP Ranking
    #1.

    Not many people would have admitted that
    it was their mind that could not take the
    pressure during the huge Roland Garros
    semifinal.

    He could have easily said that his cramps
    were due to physical factors, but chose
    not to do so.

    Hopefully he learned something important
    from this horrible breakdown and can
    improve in the forthcoming big matches.

    The french 🥖🍟 were booing Djokovic for fist pumping, clearly they don't understand the game.

    Toni said well of them.

    The cramps were real and unexpected, not in his head. They only make
    sense in hindsight. Novak didn't cause the cramps, what caused them was Carlos' mental attitude to the match - he was way too keen and pumped,
    needed to tone it down a little. I doubt we'll see it again.

    I haven't read any of this stuff, but from what I'm hearing here, all
    this means is that Djokovich has gotten into his head in a *very* big way,,,
