Alcaraz and the key to his great moment: "I feel free with my tennis"

Carlos Alcaraz is the tennis prodigy that the tennis world has eagerly awaited in the last years of the Big 3 era. A charismatic player, who plays brilliantly, with a fun and entertaining tennis style, and who also knows how to connect with a dedicated fan base. In his own way, he is setting historical records of precocity, reaching the level of the best in history. Another even more impressive record would be to clinch his third Wimbledon and sixth Grand Slam at just 22 years old.

Wimbledon 2025 is the most anticipated date on the tennis calendar each season. The tennis Olympus is filled with those who triumphed at the most mystical venue on the tour, and Carlos Alcaraz is now part of that circle of legends with his two titles at the British Grand Slam. In this edition, he aims to defend his title against threats from Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic, and potential contenders like Jack Draper. The Murcian player spoke at a press conference about his current state before starting his journey.

- Training with Fonseca

"I was eager to train with him; I did it in 2023 if I'm not mistaken. Grass is new to him, I've been talking to him, and he has little experience on this surface. Given his style, he can do very well. He loves to play aggressively towards the net with good forehands, so I believe he will improve quickly. At the moment, he needs to learn a few things because he's very young and just starting out in these tournaments, but his level is already high."

- Playing without fear, giving him more freedom

"When I play without thinking about anything else, that's when I feel freest. I enjoy those moments a lot and always try to give my best. Right now is when I feel freest with my tennis, yes."

- Grass, a favored surface for him

"I think the most beautiful tennis is played on grass. The style people bring to the court when playing on grass is very attractive. The sound of the ball... the movement is complex, but when it goes well, it's like you're flying. I adapt well because I like to use slices, drop shots, approach the net, play aggressively... and I think this is the tennis that should be played."

- Sweat control system

"Details make the difference, and I'm using a system in training that controls my sweat to know what I should take during matches and beforehand as well. It may only help me one or two percent, but details make the difference in tennis. I used it in Paris and I'm using it here, where it's very hot."

- The importance of his team

"I think it's super important to be surrounded by people with whom you feel good. If I feel bad off the court, I won't play well on it. Being well-surrounded helps me stay focused and calm. Thanks to them, I can play good tennis afterward; I'm very grateful."
