After his dominant display against Novak, Alcaraz was visibly pleased and addressed the media.
"It's truly a wonderful feeling to be back in the US Open final; it's fantastic and means a lot to me. It wasn't my best level or my best tennis today, but I maintained my focus until the end.

"The key was to stay focused throughout the match. This was a physical match, exactly how I wanted it to be, and I'm happy to be playing in my second US Open final. Sergio Garria owes me 100 dollars. I had two days off with Sergey and David. We played doubles and we won." - Carlos Alcaraz
