Carlos Alcaraz is a true champion. Over the course of two weeks on the asphalt of the US Open, the best version of the Spaniard has undoubtedly been seen, both in terms of tennis, with an aggressive and precise game; and mentally, displaying a maturity and focus never seen before. As a result, the Murcian player returns to the top of the world rankings after dismantling the game of a frustrated Jannik Sinner.

The comments made by the Italian about his game being too predictable and hinting at changes have reached Alcaraz, who shared his opinion on this matter, as well as the differences between the final matches in London and New York, his feelings at match point, and his upcoming goals. All of this in statements given to various Spanish media outlets like RNE, Movistar +, and El País.

Sixth Grand Slam or world number one?

"It's hard to choose because both were the goals at the beginning of the season, and achieving both is incredible. I can't choose one over the other. We will keep fighting to make it continue that way, or even more, but two Grand Slams per year is a fantastic number."

Guardiola and other celebrities thrilled with his tennis

"I had been told that Guardiola was there, but they didn't show him on screen, so I didn't know if he had finally come or not. For me, it's a privilege to play in front of so many celebrities and for them to enjoy my game and tennis in general."

A world of difference between the Wimbledon final and the US Open final

"The main difference with the Wimbledon match was the serve. A good service gives you a lot of peace of mind, especially when facing return games, but, above all, it helps you a lot mentally. I think I have taken a step forward and played with much more variety than I did in Wimbledon."

A few days to disconnect

"Now, I'm going to rest and take several days off. It has been a very intense tour, with many matches and a lot of physical and mental demand, and I think I deserve a few days of rest."

Approaching the final like any other match

"I tried to stay as calm as possible. When I was warming up, before stepping onto the court, those nerves were noticeable. Once inside, I felt very good. Like it was just another match, no nerves at all. My legs felt good, and that is something to be thankful for when starting a Grand Slam final. It showed in the level and confidence I displayed. I am very happy to have been able to achieve it."

Repeating the serve that won the US Open in 2022 against Casper Ruud

"Yes, it came to my mind. I'm sure you (referring to Alex Corretja) thought, 'the rascal actually thought about it.' I thought about it, trying the same serve. I was serving wide very well, and that service was giving me confidence. I'm the kind of geek that you thought I was."

Regarding the changes Jannik Sinner has announced in his tennis

"I don't feel like the ball is in his court now because I also need to be alert to see what he will do differently. I have to stay a step ahead, prepare more, and even continue to improve in many aspects. That's the beauty of this rivalry, of our matches; we push each other to the limit, which obliges us to strive to get a little better every day, in every tournament. Surely, he will make some changes, but I will be ready for them. The best version of Carlos has not yet emerged," concludes Alcaraz, who will not ease off despite having played his best tennis, winning his sixth Grand Slam, and regaining the world number one spot at just 22 years old.
