Alcaraz, who had already secured the number one ranking at the end of the year, played his first final in this tournament that brings together the eight best players of the season.

I am very happy with the level I played today, with the performance. I played against someone who hasn’t lost a match on an indoor court in two years. I hope they are ready for next year because I will be. I hope we play more finals against you.

Alcaraz received treatment on his right thigh on two occasions and had it bandaged after the first set.

It didn’t affect me too much, to be honest, because I was able to run well.
