Carlos Alcaraz has returned to training on clay courts after taking four days following his Wimbledon triumph. The Spaniard will have to transition from grass to clay to get fully ready for the Paris Olympics, as the tennis competition will be hosted on the Roland Garros courts.

The 21-year-old regrouped in March after a nervous start of the season that saw him fail to reach any final. Since then, he has remained consistent in his game and built momentum. He won his first title at Indian Wells and despite sustaining a forearm injury during the clay season, he won his maiden French Open title.

He then beat Novak Djokovic at Wimbledon to claim his fourth career Grand Slam title and second of the season. After a few days away to celebrate his success, he has resumed training with the Olympics just around the corner.

In a video on X (formerly known as Twitter), Alcaraz was seen training with the coaching team.

In the doubles at the Summer Games, he will partner with his idol Rafael Nadal. After the event, Alcaraz will have some very busy weeks, as he travels to Canada for the Masters 1000 event and will also feature at the Cincinnati Open. The 21-year-old will then switch his focus to winning the US Open.

Carlos Alcaraz aiming for double figures in Grand Slams titles won before accepting he is a champion

Carlos Alcaraz has revealed that he doesn’t see himself as a champion until he wins many more Grand Slams. The youngster’s winning mentality has already seen him win four Majors at the age of 21. He has now revealed that until he wins at least 10 Grand Slams, he will not consider himself to be a champion.

I have had many successes, four majors, many triumphs, but in the end I consider a champion the legends who have many titles and many ‘Grand Slams’, whether it is 14, 15, 9, 10. I won’t consider myself a champion until I have double figures in Grand Slams. At 10, I’ll start thinking I’m getting closer to sitting at the same table as them.

Carlos Alcaraz said via Marca

Having won the French Open and Wimbledon titles this year, he will be the favorite to win the US Open as well.
