Alcaraz beats friend Davidovic Fokina after wedding invite
Carlos Alcaraz reached his first ATP final in twelve months with a straight sets victory 7-6, 6-4 over close friend and compatriot Alejandro Davidovich Fokina at the Monte-Carlo Masters
The 21 year old winner added that he has also been invited to his opponents wedding later this year.
“Yeah, he invited me to his wedding. He’s a friend. “we will not be friends’ on court”
We have seen each other for a long time already,” said Alcaraz.
“He used to play with my older brother when they were younger, as well. I know him pretty well.
I’ve played against him a few times. Practised a lot.
So it’s going to be interesting. It’s not gonna be easy, never easy playing against a friend, but, you know, this is tennis.
Once you step on the court, there are no friends.”
