world No 1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was amazing. It was amazing, to be honest. I didn\u2019t really know why I loved playing here in 2021. I left the court, left this tournament, thinking this crowd has something special. I experienced that today. Packed stadium. It was incredible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI really enjoyed it, even though I had to run, I had to fight, I had to sweat a lot. But I enjoyed. We both played great stuff, great points. I would say it was a great match to watch, so really happy about it. I was playing great. I was playing good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/carlos-alcaraz\">Alcaraz<\/a> has match points at 6-5 up in the second set, but he couldn\u2019t convert, which ended up being one of the very small areas the Spaniard could improve him.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about them after the match, Alcaraz said: \u201cThose match points, I would say I could play them a little bit better. I would say I overplayed a couple of match points. And then it was a few mistakes, but I was still happy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m pleased about the level I was playing. Still fighting, still being strong mentally, and trying to give myself other chances. I think I did it in the 6-5, took the break point I had, happy about it, and I would say it was a good tie-break.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As a result of his victory against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/karen-khachanov\">Khachanov<\/a>, Alcaraz extended his head-to-head record against the Russian star to 7-0.<\/p>\n<p>That means Alcaraz\u2019s record against Khachanov is now his most dominant head-to-head record on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/ATP-Tour\">ATP Tour<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Alcaraz also holds a 6-0 record against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/Alex-de-Minaur\">Alex de Minaur<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/Arthur-Rinderknech\">Arthur Rinderknech<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/stefanos-tsitsipas\">Stefanos Tsitsipas<\/a>, so there are many players who have never managed to unlock the Alcaraz puzzle.<\/p>\n<p>The Spaniard\u2019s next match is set to take place on Thursday, 29th October with the order of play yet to be confirmed by the Vienna Open.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carlos Alcaraz makes comment about the Vienna crowd after defeating Karen Khachanov Liam McMillen 27 Oct 2026 5:30 PM Carlos Alcaraz celebrating a point at the 2026 Vienna Open.
