Alcaraz suffered more than necessary to achieve the victory, with Wu standing in the first game which led to a tie break, where the Roland Garros champion won 7-6 (5), while in the second he managed to break the tie three times. serve to win 6-3 and claim victory.
But the really interesting thing came later, at the time of the celebration, when the tournament organization asked the winner to take a marker and write whatever he wanted in front of one of the cameras.
But what was surprising is that after leaving his signature stamped on the team’s glass, he then wrote “SIIIUUU”, in reference to Cristiano Ronaldo’s iconic celebration.
After writing, Alcaraz smiled slightly before leaving the complex.
