The man from Palmar admits that all the congratulations received made him excited, but he highlights two above the rest: those of his idols Rafael Nadal and Fernando Alonso.
It is always a special illusion that Rafa congratulates you, one of your idols, Fernando Alonso, also, whom I admire very much and well, many more people
And among the most ‘random’, Alcaraz points out that of the actor Will Smith. “Well, they have all made me very excited. Congratulations, always, always, it is very, very beautiful. The one that in practice may be the one that has surprised me the most has been that of Will Smith.
Will Smith congratulated me, which I said, geez, how far have we come? Will Smith has congratulated me, I tell you
Asked about the publication on social networks that he made with a montage of a child’s Alcaraz playing in the street and the Wimbledon-winning Alcaraz, Carlos admits that he is living a dream “Yes, they tell that boy in that photo that I posted on Twitter that Right now he was going to be with two Grand Slams beating Djokovic in a Wimbledon final, making history, I tell you, I would have told him: ‘This guy is crazy, this guy is wrong’. Little by little. As the years have passed years, each time I have been clearer about what I wanted to be, what path I wanted to follow. Years ago, together with my team, because of the work we have been doing, because of the level at which I have been playing, because of how I have been growing , each time I have been less surprised by what I have been achieving, because I am clear about what I am capable of, I am clear about my objectives, my abilities and the truth is that little by little I have been believing what I have been achieving”.
To celebrate the title in London and repeat the ritual that began in New York after winning the US Open, Alcaraz will get a new tattoo. “I don’t know, I don’t know, I have to think about it, but a strawberry might not look bad. A strawberry can’t look bad.”
Alcaraz does not believe that we are facing a change of cycle in world tennis, despite beating Novak Djokovic in a Grand Slam final. “I don’t think so, because, in the end, Rafa is still there, Novak is still there. They have been dominating the circuit for 20 years, practically. In the end, as long as they keep playing… Look what Novak has achieved. Australia has won, He has won Roland Garros. I was able to beat him here, but it was an epic battle for me, that is, at the moment I am not thinking of a change, of changing that cycle. I have said it, in a few years we will talk about this subject, but even in a few years new players will have emerged who will have established themselves and won in Slam, but, as long as Rafa and Djokovic are around, that change or that debate has to wait”.
