Carlos Alcaraz began his journey at the 2026 Australian Open with a magnificent victory over Adam Walton. In his first official match of the season, the Spaniard made his intentions clear: to go for the title in Melbourne and make history. After such a turbulent preseason, it is not a bad time to emphasize that constant search for balance that the Murcian always talks about. How do you not mentally burn out from such a demanding sport like tennis? Carlitos responds on ESPN microphones.

"Everyone tries to find balance. It's very complicated, because during weeks when you're not competing, you have to be training, giving your best with very high demands to keep improving. We try to have those two things: also fun, time for yourself and your people, whether at home or wherever you go, but try to feel apart from the tennis bubble, which can mentally drain you. Thank God, this is what we love and enjoy a lot playing, but when done at such a high demand, you also need the other", said Carlos, who will return to the courts next Wednesday.
