Carlos Alcaraz was soundly beaten by Taylor Fritz at the Laver Cup, adding to a disappointing second day for Team Europe.
Alcaraz started his day well, winning his opening doubles match with Jakub Mensik. But when he moved over to singles, things did not go as smoothly.
Although it was the Spaniard’s first singles loss since the Wimbledon final, he spoke positively about Fritz after the match.
Even though he handled the loss well publicly, Alcaraz did say there were some things during the match that left him frustrated.
