Carlos Alcaraz, once again, leaves us speechless. At just 22 years old, he has already won all the Grand Slams, and the last one he was missing, the Australian Open, he achieves it after a demanding comeback against a Novak Djokovic who did not make it easy for him (2-6, 6-2, 6-3, 7-5).

Therefore, in his press conference after his victory, he praised the Serbian legend and also mentioned his desire to win the Australian Open, as well as his next goals in his early but already historic career.

Carlos Alcaraz confesses the importance of winning his first title at the Australian Open

"It really means a lot to me, lifting this title, this trophy was something I had been looking for a long time, every year I came, my goal was to try to win it, try to lift the trophy. It didn't happen, I had never gone past the quarterfinals, even leaving here with a good feeling because of the tennis I was playing, but still things weren't happening, and I couldn't get past the quarters."

"But once we put a lot of work into it in the preseason, a lot of mentality thinking about that tournament, having things very clear about what we had to do, and the truth is that it has been three very positive weeks, three weeks in which I have seen a lot of improvement, from the first day to the last, which is what makes me proud, trusting my team, they have always been the key, they have calmed me down when, especially in the first matches, I wasn't entirely happy, and they have always calmed me down by saying that patience was needed."

"I think that as the days went by, we faced it well, we did it, and in the end, we ended up playing great tennis and lifting the title, so it's a dream come true. But I'm already thinking about Roland Garros, I'm going to try not to leave anything to anyone."

He finds it difficult, at this time, to win all four Grand Slam titles in a row

"I think it's difficult to do it and think about it. Obviously, it's something I would like. Who wouldn't? In the end, we work to have as many Grand Slams as possible, we train for that, who wouldn't like to have all four in the same year. Hopefully, it will happen someday, but I believe that, as I said, the best way to face it and achieve it is to take it one by one."

"It's about thinking, well, I already have Australia, I'm going to celebrate it, enjoy it, savor the moment because we know how difficult it is to win a trophy like this. But my mind is already on Roland Garros and see what we can do at Roland Garros and take it step by step because the season is very long, with many tournaments, but obviously, it would be crazy to aim for it one year."

Starting to realize what he has achieved at 22

"We have learned to try to enjoy the moment. And above all, to realize that achieving it is very difficult, and I think that's the best way to do it, to then continue working and give yourself the opportunity to continue winning Grand Slams. Something that is very important to me, and something we are going to take a moment to enjoy and realize that what I have achieved is difficult."

He doesn't want to be called a legend yet

"For what I have achieved, many people may call me a legend, 7 Grand Slams, many Masters 1000, 25 titles, almost 70 weeks as number one. Many people may think or believe that they can consider me a legend if I retire today. But I believe that a legend is forged over a long time."

"How you see a player year after year going to the same tournaments with the same ambition, with the same hunger, with the same enthusiasm, and it generates a different feeling to people like you, I think that's where a legend is truly forged, and I would like not to be called that now, but when I, in the future, in 5, in 10 years, whenever it is, they will tell me that my career has been legendary, that I am a legend of tennis, and that is what would make me feel very proud."

Impressed by Djokovic's great first set

"In tennis, everything can change with just one point. One point, one feeling, one shot can completely change the game. In the first set, he played great. I was hitting the ball well, moving well; I think I played that set well, but I had an inspired Novak in front of me, making incredible shots."

"In the second set, in the first game, he made some easy mistakes that he hadn't made in the first set, and that gave me a lot of calm. I started to trust and believe that the game could change a bit if I stayed mentally strong, positive, solid, and I changed the tactic a bit that hadn't worked for me in the first set. I made that small adjustment, and I think it helped me a lot to get back into the game, to feel more comfortable and calmer."

Admiring Novak Djokovic's figure

"What he is doing is inspiring. It inspires all athletes, not just tennis players. What he is putting his body, mind, and life into in order to play another Grand Slam final, and to do it against everyone who said he wouldn't play another final or that he wouldn't beat Jannik or me. Then he comes, plays incredible tennis, beats Jannik in the semifinals, and in the final, plays at a very high level again. It's impressive what he's doing."

"If he maintains this level throughout the season, he will win very important things: Masters 1000, he will play Grand Slam finals again... it will depend on how he is physically and how demanding the tournament is for him, but I believe he is ready to continue winning significant titles."

He didn't think about proving what he could win without Juan Carlos Ferrero

"No, to be honest, I didn't. I didn't think about the people who doubted. I came here to play for myself and my team. We all know how hard I worked in the preseason to be ready for this tournament. I had too many things to think about: focusing on my style of play, on myself, on passion. That was the only thing on my mind during the tournament. But when you achieve it, of course, you are happy to show that many were wrong."

He wants to win all the ATP circuit titles

"I hate losing, that's my motivation: to try to lose as little as possible. There are tournaments that I really want to win at least once. I want to complete all the Masters 1000, try to win each of them at least once. Also the ATP Finals and the Davis Cup. The Davis Cup is another goal; I would really like to win it for my country, for Spain. I have other goals set for the season, and I will try to be prepared to achieve them," concludes a Carlos Alcaraz who has once again written his name in the history books at just 22 years old.
