Afterward, Korda praised the 18-year-old Alcaraz as a complete player who "can do it all."

"He can do it all," Korda said of Alcaraz. "He's quick, he's got a great serve, great forehand, great backhand, volleys well. There is nothing he can't really do. He's very mentally strong, physical."



Korda shared the hope of many tennis fans that this maiden Masters clash between the pair is the start of a pulsating rivalry.

"So [he's] a very tough opponent, and he's going to be very tough to beat in the next couple of years," Korda said. "Hopefully we play a lot of good tennis against each other."
