Up to this point, Carlos Alcaraz has had an exceptional season. The Spaniard has won four championships and 35 of 40 games played. Alcaraz defeated Diego Schwartzman in the Rio Open to claim his first victory of the year, 6-4, 6-2. After falling to fellow Spaniard Rafael Nadal in the semifinals, he stormed the Miami Open by defeating Casper Ruud and winning his first Masters 1000 title.

“I had surprising results this year” Carlos Alcaraz on his breakthrough this year
Although Carlos Alcaraz is not dissatisfied with his meteoric climb, the Spaniard is taken aback by how swiftly it occurred. The Spaniard is presently securely positioned in the top 10, and by the end of the year, he may perhaps reach the top three in the world. It follows Alcaraz’s victories at the Rio de Janeiro ATP 500, Barcelona ATP 500, and Madrid ATP 1000 events. He’s presently competing at an ATP 500 tournament in Hamburg, where he has a good opportunity to win, and he thought back on his ascent before the match.
“The truth is that a little, yes. I have had surprising results this year, I did not expect to evolve as fast as I did, but I work for it.“As I always say, hard work pays off, although in my case it was all a bit quick and surprising,” Speaking on the pressure of the game, the Spaniard said he’s unbothered by the pressure because his goals and aspirations have always been high.
“I know what my goals are, I don’t think too much about the pressure that comes from outside. I try to keep learning, keep adding experiences and always try to give my best version in each game. I feel that I play for myself, for my team and my family, I don’t focus on the expectations that people may have. I just push it away.”
