Alcaraz upset after surprising defeat. 'I need a few days to reset my mind'

Carlos Alcaraz suffered a sensational defeat in the third round of the Masters tournament in Rome on Tuesday. The new world number one, unbeatable on clay courts in recent weeks, choked on Hungarian Fabian Marozsan. With Roland Garros in mind, the young Spaniard wants to regain his composure as soon as possible. 'I need a few days to reset my mind,' a visibly disappointed Alcaraz said.

Few people would have seen the defeat against Marozsan coming. Alcaraz won his last 12 matches and won the Barcelona and Madrid tournaments. So no one expected a loss against the world number 135. Alcaraz spoke of a deserved defeat, from which he wants to draw lessons for the second grand slam tournament of the year.

'I need a few days to reset my mind, to be fresh for Roland Garros,' the Spaniard said. 'I felt perfect physically, but I just didn't get comfortable in my game. Marozsan took care of that by playing very aggressively. I made a lot of mistakes and he was very consistent. He deserved to win.'

Alcaraz said he could also use some time to train. 'I haven't been able to train more than three or four days in a row recently. I've been playing so much. It will really help to have a few days at home to train and prepare.' Alcaraz will be the top favourite at Roland Garros. The second grand slam tournament of the year is still missing from the 20-year-old's impressive record.
