Carlos Alcaraz shares the tactical change he made whilst losing his Japan Open match which helped him come back

Carlos Alcaraz managed to overcome a difficult start during his recent match at the Japan Open, erasing a substantial deficit in the opening tiebreak to defeat Matteo Arnaldi. The star competitor reflected that being able to step back onto the court following a lengthy five-month absence feels like a genuine privilege, noting that he had to lower the velocity of his groundstrokes and shorten his rallies to regain control against his opponent.

Looking ahead, Alcaraz prepares to face Denis Shapovalov as he attempts to preserve his flawless head-to-head record against the Canadian player.
