Carlos Alcaraz was asked in an interview with ESPN about his opinion on the longevity of players like Djokovic, Wawrinka, Monfils, or Cilic. The Spaniard praised them, affirming that the key is the passion for tennis. He mentioned that he doesn't believe they themselves thought long ago that they would still be active players today. When asked if he sees himself still competing at that age, the Murcian was firm. "Right now, I don't think about that, but the truth is, I find it difficult to imagine competing beyond the age of 35, although you never know. I hope to have that passion and vitality they have," he said.
