World No. 3 Carlos Alcaraz shared his thoughts on what he enjoys about playing on clay courts.
“On clay, the serve is not as crucial as it is on hard courts, and for me, this is an advantage. In most cases, a rally develops on each point, and it`s hard to get easy points on your serve.
Yes, there are long rallies… and socks get a bit dirty. That`s what I missed. You can see real tennis on clay because it`s not just about powerful serves and one-two shot rallies. Clay court tennis features extended rallies,” Alcaraz said at a press conference following his victory in Monte Carlo.
