Aka: The ball speed at this year’s Paris Masters has slowed down, and I like this change

Hupu reported on October 26 that the ATP1000 Paris Masters will start next Monday. Top seed Alcaraz attended the pre-match press conference. At the press conference, Alcaraz said that the court speed at this year’s Paris Masters was much slower, and he felt that the ball speed was very suitable.

Reporter: "What do you think of the court speed in Paris this year? The second part of the question is, obviously you didn't have the best results at the Paris Masters. How do you explain that? Is it because of the speed of the court, or maybe because of the length of the season?"

Alcaraz: "Well, I I mean, this year is completely different from last year. I think it's a huge change and I like the change (laughs)

You know, the court speed, yeah, it's a lot slower than last year, but I think it's a decent ball speed where we can see real tennis, not just serve, or serve. Hit the ball to death immediately. So you can see the rounds, you can see how each point is constructed. So I think that's great. Of course, I've said it many times, I like slower courses, not so fast.

However, we will wait and see. This event is not my best in terms of results, but I enjoy racing here. You know, there's only so much time in a year for indoor hard court play. I'm not really used to playing indoors, but as each year goes by, I feel like I'm getting more and more used to it. So we’ll see what happens this year. Hopefully going further than in previous years. ”
