“It’s always great to come back here to Wimbledon, even more special to do so as the reigning champion. I have great memories and I’m excited to start the tournament. I hope to achieve the same result as last year.
I feel very good. After Queen’s I had many days to train and improve.” Carlos Alcaraz is more motivated than ever ahead of his debut as reigning champion at The Championships and sent a clear message to his rivals during the Media Day.
The Spanish phenomenon’s dream is to triumph again on the lawns of the All England Club and seal what would become a historic Slam double by winning the Roland Garros e Wimbledon.
Alcaraz sends a clear message to Sinner and Djokovic in the conference
“Winning a Grand Slam tournament is complicated.
In this case it’s about going from clay to grass in a short time, two totally different surfaces. I’ll try. I want to write my name in the list of winners of Roland Garros and Wimbledon in the same year.
It will be very complicated and it is a great challenge, but I am ready”, Alcaraz explained in a press conference before revealing the routine he follows after winning an important tournament. “I remember that last year, after the final at Wimbledon, I had many things to do: interviews, press conference, doping tests…
I finished late. Then I went to dinner with my parents and people close to me to celebrate. The next morning I gave more interviews, took pictures and so on. It’s hard to celebrate after the game because you’re tired.
All that adrenaline and nerves go away. Your body is tired. It’s difficult to realize what you’ve achieved, it takes a few days.” On the Paris 2024 Olympic Games she finally added: “It’s not easy to change surfaces in just one week.
I’m 100% sure it will be at the Olympic Games. For me it is an incredible event. It will be my first time, so I’m looking forward to this experience. I will give 100% for my country.”
