The time has come for the US Open 2025, and Carlos Alcaraz is one of the top contenders to clinch the title he already won in 2022. The Spaniard arrives after a great tournament at the ATP Cincinnati 2025, where he managed to secure one of the titles missing from his collection, albeit due to his opponent, Jannik Sinner's, inability to continue playing.

Carlos Alcaraz, boasting five Grand Slam trophies, will debut against a challenging opponent in Reilly Opelka at the US Open 2025. The American plays on home soil, and his 2.11 meters height will aid him in trying to push the Murcian into tie-breaks, where anything can happen given the pressure of those tense moments. Nevertheless, Alcaraz is motivated to lift another title and is fully prepared for the two weeks of top-quality tennis, as he expressed in the pre-tournament press conference.

- Opelka's 'servebot' in the first round

"It's going to be a tough match. I have never played against Opelka, and we all know his playing style, so I need to be very focused on my returns and be prepared. I have to make the most of every return, and then we'll see, but my confidence is high right now. I am ready and feel very good on the court."

- Mixed doubles opinion

"I wish I had been better prepared to play in the mixed doubles because I had very little sleep that night and couldn't prepare as I wanted. Nonetheless, it was fun, and the atmosphere was great. The Arthur Ashe Stadium was almost full, and I liked the format, to be honest. We would have performed better if we had prepared more, but it was good."

- Contrast between 2025 and 2024 with the Paris Olympics

"This year, I took some time off completely away from tennis to recharge my mind and body. Then I trained at home for two weeks, which helped me go to Cincinnati with a lot of hunger for titles and more happiness. I was better prepared than in 2024, where everything was much tighter. Now I feel better each day here, and I am pleased with the days I am having."

- Rivalry with Sinner

The matchups between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner are among the best in tennis history, and they are aware of it: "I think our rivalry is special because we have a lot of respect for each other and a very good relationship. People see what we are capable of when we play against each other, raising our level to the highest. I look at him in many aspects to improve on hard courts; I hope to play the final against him."

- Thoughts on the topspin serve

"I trained a lot on all that when I was very young. We are Spanish, so we train the topspin serve and the forehand a lot as we grow up. It serves a lot on clay courts, where you try to set up the forehand quickly after such a serve. I have been working on this since I started playing. I have been training a lot on this since I was 14 because I knew it would help me a lot in the future to not let the opponent see what I wanted to do on the next shot."
