Just minutes after being crowned champion with Team Europe at the Laver Cup 2024, young Carlos Alcaraz spoke to Spanish media in Berlin, answering questions and reflecting on a tournament that could boost his confidence for the final stretch of the year.

Pure joy. That's what Carlos Alcaraz exuded in his press conference for Puntodebreak and other accredited Spanish media at the Laver Cup 2024. His journey in this competition has been very successful, and the mental refreshment and confidence gained could soon reflect in upcoming events. Furthermore, his relationship with rivals has evolved as they have gotten to know each other better.

"It's been wonderful for me to spend time with my teammates here, getting to know the person behind the player. We're always competing under a lot of pressure, with nerves running high, so people who only see us in matches tend to judge and say, 'I don't like this player,' or whatever. However, behind each one of us are fantastic individuals, and getting to know each other off the court has been great," emphasized the player from Murcia.

After competing in the Davis Cup and Laver Cup, the Murcian seems to have regained his top form, as he admits himself. "I hope I can play the rest of the year as I did against Fritz. I believe it was one of my best matches in recent times. I want to continue with this aggressive style of play, coming to the net, and being the one dictating the rhythm of the match. I had a tough time during the American tour because I couldn't find my level or the necessary consistency, but now I feel ready to fight for the exciting goals remaining in the season," concluded Carlos Alcaraz, who will now head to China for the ATP 500 Beijing 2024.
