Jan-Lennard Struff, beaten 6-4, 3-6, 6-3 by Carlos Alcaraz in the final of the Masters 1000 in Madrid on Sunday, summarized in a press conference: “It has been an incredible adventure, from lucky loser to finalist . It encourages me a lot for the next few weeks and months. This is the greatest achievement of my career so far. I think I will realize it in the coming days. Of course I would have liked to win today (Sunday), but if someone had told me two weeks ago that I was going to play in the final, I would have signed, for sure. I’m proud of the way I played today. I had already played against Carlos twice and I always had this very aggressive style of play against him. This is the style that suits me best. If he plays his game, if he has time, he plays too well. He’s very fast, he likes rallies, he likes to play very aggressively, so I tried to put some pressure on him, take time off him and give it a shot. My game plan was to go to the net as much as possible. I was in the game, I had my chances. But he was too strong in the end. ยป
