Blanch trains at Juan Carlos Ferrero’s Equelite Academy and has often stepped in as a sparring partner for Alcaraz. And the two-time Major winner revealed that he gave the 16-year-old a pep-talk ahead of his meeting with Nadal. “Well I’ve practised with him a few times in the academy,” Alcaraz said in Madrid.

"Casper Ruud and Stefanos Tsitsipas are in excellent form and have reached the final in both Monte Carlo and Barcelona. I have confidence, this is the most important thing for me. Obviously then there is Jannik Sinner and other great players who can get you into trouble. They and Sinner are the players to beat on this surface," he analyzed.
