Carlos Alcaraz said during an interview that “It means a lot to me. To get this trophy, the world No. 1, to be part of tennis history along with a lot of legends, for me is an amazing feeling. It’s fantastic for me. I never thought I was going to achieve something like that at 19 years old. So everything [has] come so fast. For me it’s unbelievable. It’s something I dreamed [of] since I was a kid since I started playing tennis.“
