The Spaniard, who was only 20 at the time, said he enjoyed reading the messages and appreciated the support he was receiving.
"It's great to know all the love from the people. I read the messages that they write me on social media as well, in every platform and, of course, in the cards as well," Alcaraz said at the time. "Every day that I [went] into the locker room, I saw the cards. And for me, it's great to read it and know all the love that they have [for] me."
