Alcaraz : "C'est assez bon de résoudre des situations difficiles dans ton premier match"

Carlos Alcaraz made his debut at the 2026 Australian Open with a great victory against a demanding opponent like Adam Walton. Despite winning in three sets, there were moments where the Australian put the Spaniard in difficulty, which he managed to solve remarkably. Therefore, in the post-match interview with Eurosport Spain, he highlighted the importance of winning the first match of the season and resolving those issues that can always arise in a Grand Slam match.

"It was not an easy first match, but I had been training very well and had a clear mindset. It was a match with ups and downs, very good moments and also some not-so-good times with challenging situations, but I think it's quite positive to overcome difficulties in your first match. Overall, very good, three sets, hours on court, back in competition rhythm, and happy to have my first win of the season. I just needed the competition rhythm, no matter how many hours you train. But gradually, I started to feel good sensations throughout the match. Walton played a great match, and I prefer being challenged and getting a good pace," stated the world number one before facing Yannick Hanfmann in the second round.
