“I’m proud of myself, with the way I approached the match mentally,” Alcaraz said. “Tactically, I think I played pretty well from the first point until the last one.
“I didn’t do a rollercoaster. I maintained my good level throughout the whole match, so I’m really proud about everything I did today.
“All eyes are on Paris right now, on Roland Garros. Beating Jannik, winning Rome, both things mix together and give (me) great confidence going to Paris.
“I always say: ‘The final is not about playing, the final is about winning.’ I just repeat (that) approach every time I play a final.”
