Il attendait ce moment depuis plus de quatre mois. Et malgré son immense expérience des plus grandes scènes, Carlos Alcaraz a presque dû réapprendre à vivre une journée de compétition. Pour son premier match de simple depuis le 14 avril, l'Espagnol a parfaitement négocié son entrée en lice à l'US Open lundi 31 août. Opposé à Roman Safiullin sur l'Arthur Ashe Stadium, le double champion à New York s'est imposé en trois manches, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4, après 2h22 de jeu.

Le résultat est rassurant. Les sensations physiques encore davantage. Mais après la rencontre, Alcaraz a surtout raconté à quel point cette longue absence avait bouleversé ses repères les plus ordinaires.

00:02Hey Carlos, are you completely pain-free now in the wrist?
00:06And do you have to have it strapped for matches and things like that?
00:09Well, yeah, it's pain-free right now.
00:13I felt great.
00:16You know, I don't know how it looked from outside,
00:20but you know, from inside,
00:24my feeling was that I was getting normal.
00:27I was, you know, playing normal, playing my style.
00:32And, yeah, the arm, the wrist, everything, you know, felt great.
00:37So, you know, I'm still taking care of it.
00:40Obviously, these days and before the matches and everything,
00:44but, you know, I'm just really happy it's pain-free finally.
00:47So you do strap it up?
00:49Yeah, yeah, I'm going to, yeah.
00:50Precaution is always good, I guess.
00:53Hi Carlos.
00:54I wanted to ask, when you said earlier to Matt's question that you start the day really, really nervous.
00:59What do you mean by really, really nervous?
01:02Is it like a fear? What happens to you?
01:04And how do you overcome that before you get on the court?
01:07Or do you carry those?
01:08Well, yeah, I meant because I kind of, I forgot how, you know, Matt's day looks like.
01:19I don't know, you know, I was warming up and I, you know, I don't remember actually what I used
01:27to do, you know, in the warm up.
01:28So it was kind of, get the feeling again.
01:33So that's why I was really nervous.
01:36And obviously, because I didn't know what's going to happen on the court, you know, like not having that for
01:44granted.
01:45For granted is like kind of a difficult feeling.
01:48But, you know, that's why I was really nervous because it's kind of, I just forgot the competition.
01:54We'll see you soon.
01:56We'll see you soon.
01:56Bye.
01:57Bye.
01:57Bye.
