The Australian showed enthusiasm about his chances of achieving something big at the Australian Open 2026 and talked about how he faces the pressure of playing as the local favorite.
Carlos Alcaraz
Carlos Alcaraz is breaking all kinds of precocity records and setting records at his age even better than those achieved by the Big 3 and other legends. When asked about this on Eurosport, the Spaniard is clear in stating how great it is to see his progression but mentions that these statistics mean nothing to him, and he doesn't pay attention to them because his only concern is to improve every day. If he fails to do so and stagnates, everything achieved so far would mean nothing. "I want to be sitting at the same table as the Big 3, but at the end of my career."
🗣️ We asked @carlosalcaraz about the record he set surpassing legends like Federer, Djokovic, or Nadal in Grand Slam tournaments, and his response is priceless.

Carlitos assures that he did not intend to copy the Serbian's serve nor did he pay attention to it to make changes, but it naturally emerged that way.
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.

Asked about the role of his brother Álvaro after Ferrero's departure, Carlos Alcaraz confirmed that he will now have much more influence and will be one of the coaches on his team. "My brother is a very important person in my personal and professional life. He provides me with many positive things that I need to perform better on the court and in tournaments. Now he will take on a more prominent role along with Samu. He knows how we operate, how the circuit works, and he knows a lot about tennis. Sometimes, he has opinions and a way of seeing things that benefit both me and Samu. Happy to see him in the box, even more involved, and he contributes a lot to me," commented the player from Murcia.

Carlos Alcaraz clearly defeated Corentin Moutet in the third round of the 2026 Australian Open. However, the French player showcased his range of shots, with the drop shot being one of his master weapons, just like that of the Spanish player. This time, though, the player from Murcia became the hunted and had to endure numerous drop shots from the Frenchman. "There was a point at the end of the first set where I told my team, 'I'm not going to run on the next drop shot.' I was tired of approaching the net, I looked at the screen and thought to myself, 'Wow, I've been at the net like 55 times.' It was tough; I thought we were in a drop-shot competition and he definitely won," stated the player from El Palmar in the court-side interview.
