Daniel pounced early in the next to grab a 3-0 lead before Alcaraz got on the board.
He continued to batter the suddenly error-prone Spaniard with relentless hitting from the baseline before levelling the match.
I try to think about myself, about my game, and try to put it into the match.
All I can say is tomorrow is a day off for me and we're gonna think about the match tomorrow with my team."
