The emotional message from Alcaraz to his team after winning the title in Tokyo

Carlos Alcaraz has lifted a title again almost 8 months later after defeating Jiri Lehecka in the final of the ATP Tokyo, a tournament he already won in 2025 and in which he remains undefeated. In the trophy presentation, the Spanish tennis player highlighted how important this victory is for him, especially after being out of the circuit for 4 and a half months due to a wrist injury. 

"Jiri, it has been a great week for you and your team, you have already played some finals and I am sure it won't be the last one. I wish you all the best for the rest of the season and for the future. I also want to talk about my team. What a journey since I got injured, it has been a very long time, a slow process with ups and downs, and also with beautiful moments. The hard work each of you has done for me to come back strong and not get injured again has been incredible. Thank you for everything you have done now and always, behind me to do whatever it takes both on and off the court. I feel very lucky to have you by my side. Thanks to the tournament for making this place so special and for making me feel so comfortable, and to the people. This is my second time here and I love it," concluded Alcaraz.

Alcaraz, aiming to close the gap with Sinner

The objective for the Spanish tennis player from now until the end of the season will be to win as many titles as possible to continue expanding his achievements and in the process narrow the gap with Jannik Sinner, who will miss the remainder of the season due to his knee injury. However, the one who will be present for the rest of 2026 will be Alexander Zverev, who has won two Grand Slams this year and will be number 1 in a few weeks, making him the rival to beat.
