“Before, people tried to restrain me”
In qualifying, the Frenchman stood out for his surprising celebrations. “It’s true that in France we can’t talk about that. That’s my current motivation for tennis. I don’t know how we can respect each other better. I repeat, Lajal is 270th in the world, he does not take 6-0, 6-0 (beaten 7-6, 7-5, 6-2 by Alcaraz this Monday). People would like to watch us more, I think. I don’t know why they treat us like this. Why am I on the money? Because that’s what’s left. Lajal, if he beats Alcaraz, he will only have taken 45 points. He’s going to have to win back a lot. There is no stability. The system is very harsh. I am fatalistic. There are rules that we have to accept unfortunately. I accept them, but they won’t change me either. Before, people tried to restrain me. I don’t want this anymore. In the end, we all die, we all end up underground, we only have one life.“
