Carlos Alcaraz is ready to defend his title at the Masters 1000 in Monte Carlo. The Spaniard is already in Monaco to kick off a clay court tour where he defends three titles (Monte Carlo, Rome, and Roland Garros), 4,300 points, and the world number one spot. However, Alcaraz's goal is to find the best possible sensations on the red clay.

Coincidentally, Alcaraz's last tournament on clay was his historic Roland Garros final against Jannik Sinner, where he saved three championship points and secured his second title in Paris. Therefore, El Palmar's player missed playing on clay, especially after his recent American hard court tour (Indian Wells and Miami), where he struggled after his sensational start with the Australian Open and Doha titles.

Alcaraz is now at the luxurious Monte Carlo tennis club, where he spoke to the media before his debut against Sebastián Báez or Stan Wawrinka. Regarding his aspirations in this tournament, his eagerness to play on clay again, the proximity to the fans, and the excess of cameras, he addressed in the press conference, as reported by Univers Tennis.

Carlos Alcaraz is ready to kick off the 2026 clay court tour

"It's probably one of the best surfaces, no doubt. I miss clay every time the season ends. I miss it a lot. It had been a long time since I played on clay, so it felt like eternity to me."

"The initial sessions I had were to regain rhythm, to tell myself: 'Alright, it's time to get my socks dirty again.' Honestly, it's an incredible feeling to be back on the clay court."

Reveals that he maintains certain routines during tournament weeks

"There are certain things I like to do always in the same way. For example, I try to use the same locker if I won the tournament the previous year. But this year they took away my locker from last year, so I don't know... But yes, I have some habits, exercises that I like to do in the same way throughout the week."

He is not thinking about defending the title at the moment

"It's a new year, new sensations, new things to improve, new things to think about in training and matches. I'm going to try to prepare as best as possible for the first match and for the upcoming week. I'm not thinking about defending a title. It's about how I feel, and right now, I'm just trying to have good sensations."

Against the proliferation of cameras in all corners of the tournaments

"It's great for the fans. They love to see what happens behind the scenes, what we do, how the facilities are inside the tournaments. But for the players, it's a bit strange because we no longer have a place to relax, as we are constantly thinking that there are cameras and everyone is watching us."

"Having cameras so close, being able to see what we are looking at on our phones, seems excessive to me. Already, we don't have much privacy at tournaments, and I think this is too much. We should have spaces where we can be alone without being filmed."

Eternally grateful to all the fans

"I feel very loved wherever I go, and I'm very grateful for it. The people who watch me on television, those who travel to see my matches, my training sessions, to see me in general, is amazing to me."

"I know that sometimes I don't have much time to dedicate to them, so whenever I can, I think that's what I should do. The least I can do is to give them time: sign autographs, take photos. I could spend the whole day with them because they deserve it," says a Carlos Alcaraz ready to battle on the clay court. First stop, Monte Carlo.
