Alcaraz and Medjedovic had no idea when their match would begin, yet a large part of their job is making sure they are always ready.A few hours later, after closing out a straightforward victory, Alcaraz chuckled bitterly from a quiet hallway inside centre court as he reflected on his hours of preparation, which turned out to be more stressful than the match itself. “Well, it sucks,” he said, smiling. “Having to warm up three, four time...
