Alcaraz also said that his body started to tire by the end of the second set and that he couldn't find a way past the Belgian in the second set.
"I didn't feel well in my legs. I wasn't injured, I wasn't sick. I was feeling perfectly before the match. I felt good, a little bit nervous, which is normal before the match. But nothing more than that. I just felt ready, I thought that I was going to play really good tennis. It didn't happen," he added.
