The year 2022 of the young Spanish talent, Carlos Alcaraz has been very important so far. The Iberian athlete showed his great talent, succeeding both on hard and on clay.
However, so far Carlos has shown some shortcomings in Grand Slam tournaments, where he hasn’t made it past the quarter-finals. For a “normal” athlete they would still represent an excellent result, but the Murcian has the “stigma” of the predestined and his results in his case even border on normality.
In Paris, many expected a semi-final against Novak Djokovic or Rafael Nadal (we already know how it went), but Alcaraz surprisingly went to the quarter-finals, succumbing in four sets against to the German Alexander Zverev.
The tennis player has suffered from elbow problems in recent days and has therefore withdrawn from the Queen’s tournament. For this reason, Alcaraz will probably arrive at Wimbledon unprepared and the Spaniard said goodbye to Queen’s with the following message: “I resigned from Queen’s due to an elbow problem, but I am already thinking about Wimbledon, recover physically as far as my elbow is concerned and be in the best possible way.
I also see myself preparing for Wimbledon. I hope to bring joy to all Murcians.” Over the past few hours, the social world has posted videos of Alcaraz training on a “new” grass surface, and the talented Spaniard, in an act in El Pozo, said the following about the next big tournament: “Winning Wimbledon.
Of course I think it’s possible, I work every day to achieve results or rather to achieve dreams like that. Everyone remembers well, in this tournament, the 2008 final between Rafa Nadal and Roger Federer, one of the best matches in history.
These are historic matches and I also think and hope to arrive and play these challenges.”
Roger Federer wants to play again
Tsitsipas expressed his huge admiration for Roger Federer and described playing with Federer as an ‘unheard of scenario’
“I have a lot of respect for him. I just loved watching him on TV. Hitting with him on the tennis court would probably have been a never-before-seen scenario in a lifetime.
When I first faced him, I was about to serve and I was like, ‘Roger is on the other side of the net.’ He’s my childhood hero.
It is beyond unimaginable. He’s someone who finds it hard to believe he’s real. It’s amazing what he’s done with all his records and style of play,” Tsitsipas said.
“Yeah, I really miss him. He’s a very lovely person. You know, everyone loves him,” Tsitsipas said.
