"It's very, very exciting for me after all the hard work I've done with my team and family. You always have to give everything on the field, everything you have in your body in order to achieve what you want."
Alcaras added in tears: "At the beginning of the match - in the first two sets I felt good mentally but also that my legs were very heavy. I'm happy that I was released. At the end I also thought that my mother and my grandfather could not be here in the final. This is a very special moment for me."
