Carlos Alcaraz experienced a very special night yesterday, a night in which he received a very important award for someone who has had a great 2024. Carlos was awarded as the Best Athlete 2023/24 by the Sports Press Association of the Region of Murcia. The El Palmar tennis player has received this great recognition after a year in which he has won two Grand Slams (Roland Garros and Wimbledon), among other titles.

Despite his triumphs in these tournaments, Alcaraz believes it has been "a year of ups and downs", as he has not been able to maintain the consistency as he would have liked, especially towards the end of this year. However, 2024 remains "positive". "I still get emotional when I watch the videos of Roland Garros and Wimbledon," he said after receiving the award. The Murcian never misses the opportunity to highlight the work of those who support him day by day and also have a great influence on his success: "There is a team behind me, and this is also for the people who cheer me on every day".

Now it is time to prepare thoroughly for the preseason to arrive at the Australian Open next January with renewed energy and everything well-trained and ready. He has already started this week after his exhibitions in the United States, although the rest at home for Christmas will be crucial. "I am starting a tough month of training, but being home for Christmas and New Year is wonderful and gives me a break," he confessed.

Going for the Missing Slam

US Open, Wimbledon, and Roland Garros. He already has three of the four Grand Slams in his résumé, so it is very clear what his main goal will be next year besides his intention to return to the number 1 spot in the world. "I wish that 2025 comes stronger. I am a very ambitious guy and I want more, and Australia is what I want to tattoo even though my father does not like it much. Being a champion there is my main goal for the next season," he said with the naturalness that characterizes him so much in verbalizing his desires. Therefore, he will try to fulfill those wishes by also finding enjoyment on the court, as he likes: "It is hard to find happiness, I want people to enjoy with me".
