In Hamburg, the young Spaniard played already one match as he defeated home wild-card Nicola Kuhn in three sets. After the match, Alcaraz said:

“It was tough. I mean, the first round in every tournament is tough. I came from the grass, and the difference was too much. I’m really happy to be [through to] the second round. I’m sure that I will be better in the next round, but I’m really happy with the win,” said Alcaraz.

“I knew that I wasn’t playing well, so I knew I was going to have my chances to get better in the second set. Try not to miss as much as I did in the first set. I’m really happy with the change that I put in in the second set,” concluded Alcaraz.
