Carlos Alcaraz is a true champion. In the two weeks on the asphalt of the US Open, the best version of the Spaniard has been undoubtedly seen, both in terms of tennis, with an aggressive and refined game in equal parts, and mentally, displaying a maturity and focus never seen before. This way, the Murcian returns to the top of the world rankings after dismantling the game of a frustrated Jannik Sinner.
The comments made by the Italian about his game being predictable and warning of possible changes have reached Alcaraz's ears, who shared his opinion on this issue, as well as the differences between the final in London and that in New York, and his feelings on match point and his upcoming goals. All this in statements made to various Spanish media outlets such as RNE, Movistar +, and El País.
Sixth Grand Slam or world number one?
"It's difficult to choose because both were the goals at the beginning of the season and achieving both is incredible; I can't choose one of the two. We will continue to fight for it to keep happening that way, or even more, but two Grand Slams per year are a great number."
Guardiola and other celebrities thrilled with his tennis
"I had been told Guardiola was there, but they didn't focus on him, so I didn't know if he had finally come or not. For me, it's a privilege to be able to play in front of so many celebrities and for them to enjoy my game and tennis in general."
A world of difference between the Wimbledon and US Open finals
"The main difference with the Wimbledon match has been the serve. A good serve gives you a lot of calm, also to then face return games, but above all, it helps you a lot mentally. I think I have taken a step forward and played with much more variety than I did at Wimbledon."
A few days of disconnection
"Now I am going to rest and take several days off. It has been a very intense tour, with many matches and a lot of physical and mental demand, and I believe I deserve a few days of rest."
Approaching the final as just another match
"I tried to be as calm as possible. When I was warming up, before stepping onto the court, those nerves were noticeable. Once inside, I felt very good, as if it were just another match, no nerves. I felt good in my legs, and that is something to be thankful for in starting a Grand Slam final. It showed in the level and confidence I displayed. I am very happy to have been able to achieve it."
Repeating the serve that won him the US Open in 2022 against Casper Ruud
"Yes, it came to mind. Surely you (to Alex Corretja) have thought, 'damn, he thought about it'. I did think about it, trying the same serve. I was serving very well wide, and that service was giving me confidence. I am that kind of freak that you thought I was."
About the changes announced by Jannik Sinner in his tennis
"I don't feel like the ball is in his court now, because I also have to be alert to see what he is going to do differently. I mean, I have to stay a step ahead, prepare more, and even keep improving in many aspects. That's the beauty of this rivalry, of our matches; we push each other to the limit, which forces us to be a little better every day, in every tournament. Surely he will make some changes, but I will be prepared for it. The best Carlos has not yet emerged," declares Alcaraz, who will not ease up despite playing his best tennis, winning his sixth Grand Slam, and regaining the number one position in the world at just 22 years old.
