Alcaraz, from coming to Queen’s to “learn on the grass” to winning the tournament: “It’s amazing”

This is another example that the world is facing a special and unique player. came to the tournament to Queen with the great aim of gaining experience on the grass and adapting their movements on this surface to arrive as ready as possible for the third grand slam it is from time, Wimbledon. Due to make his debut on the green at Wimbledon in 2021 against Japan’s Uchiyama, Alcaraz only played 6 matches on grass before arriving at Queen’s. But Carlos did it again. He once again left everyone stunned with his tennis, and even more so, with his chameleon-like adaptability. He went from debuting and winning with difficulty in the first game to Arthur Rinderknech, growing even more with two solid wins against Lehecka and Dimitrov. He outdid himself again beating Sebastian Korda to reach the final. The tennis player who started the tournament with the intention of learning is never the same. He has grown so much that he has become a giant. He wants to fit in. I want to improve. He got the trophy. It was Carlos Alcarazanother example of the meteoric explosion he starred in tennis, starring now on a surface where he can now be placed among the favorites for Wimbledonwhere it comes as new number 1 in the world.

“I congratulate Alex de Miñaur and his whole team for all the work they have done and the week of tennis they have offered”, Alcaraz began his parliament as the new champion. “I don’t want to forget anyone and I want to talk about my team, who supported me all week. To Samu, Alberto, Sergio… and of course, my father is here. It’s incredible to have this experience and get this trophy in front of them, so thank you very much.”he added. He then responded to the reality of taking over from Rafa Nadal, Feliciano López and Andrés Gimeno as the new Spanish champion at Queen’s.

“It means a lot, to have my name on this trophy… I’ve watched this tournament since I started watching tennis. It’s very special for me to play here, many legends have won here and to see my name on the trophy, to see my name surrounded by great champions, for me it’s unbelievable.”argued Carlos, reflecting on the great growth he showed in his lawn tennis this week of competition.

Last year, an elbow injury prevented him from gaining more experience to arrive with more weapons at the All England Tennis Club. After Roland Garros, the doubt is on the wrist that was broken in Paris. Surely Alcaraz exploded over this? Fortunately, the injury was cleared and nothing stopped his desire to shine in the green as well. Explode. Wow if he did. In fact, he made it clear within a week that he didn’t know that if he won he would get number 1 back. He went for it and did it.

“It’s a big help to go to Wimbledon as number one, for me it’s an amazing thing, but again, it’s something that wouldn’t have been possible with all the people’s support all week. I started the tournament not very well, as you said, I need to adapt my moves on the grass, gain experience, but it was an incredible week and I finished with a lot of energy, with a lot of quality and Coming to Wimbledon like this is incredible.”Carlos said.

Confidence is high for Wimbledon

“If I go without expectations, I can win it. Now I can have a lot of confidence. I feel like one of the favorites for Wimbledon, but honestly, I need more experience, I’ve only played 11 matches on grass,” the Spaniard remembered.

“I consider myself a good player on grass, with all the weapons I have. I went to Wimbledon with a lot of confidence. I saw a statistic that Novak won more matches than anyone else another 20 favorites. He is the great candidate. I have to do my best to have opportunities”, added Carlos.

“For me, tennis is my life. This is all. I have always dreamed of participating in these tournaments. Every time I enter a track, I always have a smile on my face and I enjoy every second of it.” he explained, interrupted at that moment by applause from the public. “And playing in such good tournaments is something that I don’t have to be crazy about, I just try to enjoy every second, I try to make people happy watching tennis and make everyone happy.”finished the new champion of Queen’s, who now only thinks about success wearing all white.
