In the coming season, the World No.2 has clarified his intention of aiming for an Olympic gold as he prioritises the 2024 Paris Olympics above the Grand Slams in the 2024 season. An Olympic medal is still a dream for many tennis athletes and holds a lot of value as they represent their nation in the quest of a medal. It will definitely be interesting to see how things turn out for Carlos Alcaraz as he gears up to perform his best at the Olympics next year.

He hopes to have a good run at the Olympics and aims to retire once the tournament comes to an end.

Carlos Alcaraz has also reciprocated the same feelings as he has stated that it will be an honour for him to play doubles alongside his childhood idol as he does not have much time left on the tennis court. The two will most probably pair together and try to win an Olympic medal for their nation.
