The 23-year-old added a humorous touch to his reply by stating that he did not wish to play a Spaniard in a Major final again. "I guess I hope I don't play a Spanish player if I ever reach another slam final. They know what they're doing in the slam finals.

https://t.co/Gw2JUCTGAw On a more serious note, the Oslo-born player asserted that his resolve to win a Grand Slam had grown after two title-round losses:
"Well, I think obviously if you reach a Grand Slam final, whoever you play will be a great player on the opposite side of the net. In Roland Garros, it was hard for me to believe that I could beat Rafa.

The momentum appeared to be with the Norwegian as Carlos Alcaraz committed a few unforced errors at the start of the third set. However, the 19-year-old steadied the ship by going on to win the set and was at his sublime best in the fourth as Ruud himself acknowledged.
