I always had the fear that Carlos Alcaraz would get bored or overwhelmed by tennis. He is not like the other legends of this sport who aspire to be the best in history. The player from Murcia has his own way of seeing things, and according to what he said in the latest interview he gave to Vanity Fair, he expresses this fear of becoming overwhelmed if he thinks he has many years ahead of him, seeing himself as a slave to tennis.

If we stop to think about the life led by the members of the Big 3, all three dedicated 99.9% of their lives to tennis. Stable and long-lasting relationships, family lives that allowed them to think only about tennis. Alcaraz is not like that. He feels life differently. And precisely in the way he lives his own life, there is the future risk that he may burn out from what this sport entails.

Tennis is very demanding

This sport drains you to the maximum. It demands that you be at 100% from January 1st to November 28th, with the obligation to always win, in the case of top-level players like Alcaraz. It is the price to pay to be the best in history. Carlos, like Sinner, has the demand to win every tournament he plays, and in case he doesn't, his name will be accompanied by words like 'disappointment,' 'failure' or 'crisis.' And that pressure, in the long run, ends up breaking you mentally.

Bjorn Borg retired from tennis at 26, tired of bearing pressure. Completely emotionally and mentally exhausted, the Swede decided to step aside, despite being at the peak of his career. That is precisely what Carlos Alcaraz must avoid. The player from Murcia needs to find a way to approach this in a manner that allows him to have fun, enjoy, be with his loved ones, and continue adding major titles along the way.

"I don't want to be a slave to tennis," "I don't want to think I have 12-15 years of career ahead because it overwhelms me," are phrases that Alcaraz speaks from his heart so that people understand that one can be the world number 1, have everything they desire within reach, and the greatest of fame, yet there will always be a fear or doubt that creeps into your mind.

That's why Jannik Sinner's presence is so necessary. Because thanks to the existence of the Italian, Carlitos will always have the motivation and hunger necessary to wake up every morning wanting to surpass himself and reach his best version. He or the future players who emerge tomorrow will be what Alcaraz can use as a support to keep his motivation as high as ever.

Carlos Alcaraz must be allowed to be himself. Because in the way he wants to steer his career lies the way to do it. No other method works for him. Each human being is different and thinks and feels differently. No one should have the right to tell him how to lead his life or his career; it is his decision. Also, there is no one right way to do things. This is how he operates, and he will continue in this manner until he decides otherwise.
