Carlos Alcaraz (third) is a participant who receives compliments even from essentially the most bitter: he has a particular charisma. One other aura that’s seen on the courtroom.

Whereas the Balkan explored different choices to get up and get into the match (he tried to go to the web quite a bit, though with little effectiveness), the Spaniard at all times discovered a solution to come out properly. With a bodily explosion, a spicy proper and a surgical drop shot he put collectively a deadly package deal.
