At 2-3 in the second set, Alcaraz was serving to save a break point. It was a long rally as both players tested each other. The rally went on and on before Alcaraz clinched the point and saved the break of serve. The reaction after winning the point showed what it meant for him. The entire service game of Alcaraz lasted 14 minutes - which is long. After the completion of the game, the Spaniard also agreed that that point was the turning point of the match as he had conceded the opening set. 

‘Been working a lot on that’

“On not always being so predictable and hitting cross-courts but doing it at times when the opponent isn’t expecting it. It’s a shot where the opponent normally goes cross-court, and then I can hit a forehand, which is where I feel really comfortable. We’ve been working a lot on that, and I think it’s really bearing fruit at this tournament," he gave a little sneak into his plan for the match as well.
