Carlos Alcaraz has been riding on a high after defeating Norwegian Casper Ruud to clinch his maiden Grand Slam and becoming the youngest No 1 player in the history of tennis. He is assertive of himself being able to dominate the Tour in the coming years.
He had a successful 2022 winning four ATP titles and winning the US Open title. He seems to look confident in his game as he became the youngest US Open champion. He acknowledged the fact that the current generation of players is not so young anymore. He further talked about not letting success get into his head.
During an interview, He said that “There are many good young players. It is difficult to say who will be the dominant players in the next few years. Of course, I have Jannik Sinner and Alexander Zverev in mind, against whom I have already played incredible matches. But also Daniil Medvedev, Stefanos Tsitsipas, and Casper Ruud, even if they are not that young anymore. There are really a lot of players with great potential.“
The young Spaniard also spoke that “The situation has changed, but not my life. I still have the same family, the same friends, and the same team. That’s why I’m still the same person and the same player who always wants to improve and train hard. I try not to get too caught up in it the hype and not think about it too much. I see myself as a very down-to-earth person, and that’s important to me. I just love playing tennis. I want to enjoy tennis and win tournaments.”
Note: Moving Forward in the tour, Carlos Alcaraz might be a great pick as per Joe Fortune betting suggestions.
