100% 2026 record going.<\/p>\n<p>The World No.1 was at his brilliant best as he picked apart his younger opponent, breaking him at the first time of asking and then never letting up from that point.<\/p>\n<p>It resulted in a 6-2, 6-2 victory for the Spaniard and a 2\/2 record in tournament this year and speaking afterwards, he felt as if he has achieved everything he set out to do.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI remember the feeling that I had last year, leaving in the quarter finals so I came this year hungry for more, hungry to go farther in this tournament,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think after every tournament, we just set up new goals, set up new things. I\u2019m putting on the table and, you know, the beginning of the week with the things that I really wanted to do through the week. So I\u2019m just really happy and proud about everything I\u2019ve done with my team on and off the court. So I feel like the job is finished right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alcaraz was also asked what grade he would give himself if filling out his own report card and while he declined to give one, he did say<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the week went pretty good,\u201d he said. \u201cSo I don\u2019t know. I mean, I just improve every day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE ON ALCARAZ ON T365<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/carlos-alcaraz-insists-not-copying-big-three-ahead-of-doha-open-final\"><strong>Carlos Alcaraz insists \u2018not copying Big Three\u2019 ahead of Doha Open final<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/carlos-alcaraz-jannik-sinner-qatar-open-loss-matches-world-no-1-feat\"><strong>Carlos Alcaraz reacts to Jannik Sinner\u2019s Qatar Open loss and matching rival\u2019s world No 1 feat<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/atp-player-nothing-close-carlos-alcaraz-jannik-sinner\"><strong>ATP player says \u2018nothing\u2019 close to Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner in \u2018have to catch up\u2019 rallying call<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the level of tennis for myself, I just was a little below, you know, comparing to the other days, but you know, in general, I think I put on a high note.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Fils, while he want to not dwell on the final for too long, his presence there should be considered an achievement given the lengthy injury break he was forced to endure.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking after, he said he would choose to focus on that rather than the match itself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been eight long months with my injury,\u201d he said after his first tour-level final since Tokyo in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo in a time like this, you just have to think about the last eight months when I was struggling, not playing tennis.
