JAKARTA - The world number one tennis player from Spain, Carlos Alcaraz, revealed the thing that changed his career in the world of tennis. Failure at the ATP Masters 1000 in Canada last year became the starting point for his revival.
Since that failure, Alcaraz has won two grand slam tournaments, namely the 2022 US Open and 2023 Wimbledon. In addition, he has also won five other titles in six final appearances.
The title was achieved while appearing in Argentina, Indian Wells, Barcelona, Madrid and Queen's.
"I've played in big stadiums, big games, fighting for big things. I think that helped me a lot to develop as a player, as a person", said Alcaraz.
"A year later, I am completely different", he continued, as reported by AFP via Antara.
Alcaraz then admitted that he did not want to forget his success at Wimbledon 2023. He also placed his winning trophy in the living room so that he would always see it.
Alcaraz said he still had a hard time believing he could win the grand slam tournament. The reason is, he is still very young, namely 20 years.
"I have the Wimbledon trophy in my living room, so every time I have lunch or dinner with my family, I see it. It's something I don't want to forget", said Alcaraz.
"I only had a week to think about it... need a little more because it's hard to believe."
Alcaraz said winning Wimbledon at the age of 20 in only his third appearance was something he had dreamed of when he started playing tennis.
"For me it's an achievement and I have to take some time to think about it because I still can't believe it", said Alcaraz.
