Carlos Alcaraz is just two steps away from defending his title at Wimbledon, although this long-term thinking can be a danger, a trap for any athlete who works to focus on day-to-day, respecting each opponent. Juan Carlos Ferrero knows a lot about this, as he has been guiding the steps of the Murcian since he was 15 years old, as reflected in recent statements collected by MARCA.
"You have to try not to think about the title because there are very tough opponents. Players have to only think about the next match, and it would be a mistake on their part and everyone else's. The most important thing is that Carlos already has a very high natural level, and people have to play very well in five sets to beat him if he is at a normal level. The motivation already comes with the fact of playing a Grand Slam; they are the tournaments that motivate him the most, the ones he most wants to win, the ones he is most eager to win. You have to know how to handle him because freshness in Carlos is very important due to the type of physique he has."
