Carlos Alcaraz was delighted and moved by his rapid ascent among the world’s elite. His appearance at the 2022 US Open, also becoming at 19 years old the youngest number one in history, as well as his return to Novak Djokovic at Wimbledon 2023.
They are the most grateful tears. His trainer, Juan Carlos Ferrerohe broke down emotionally and cried while watching how the Murcian conquered Wimbledon, making another fool of himself.
But there is also crying that is just as liberating, albeit provoked by a less acceptable situation. Carlos Alcaraz He cried on the court in a complicated situation, as seen on several occasions, but also at other times in the locker room.
Frustration, anger, heartbreak. Everyone labels what they consider each moment. Everyone understood that an 18-year-old boy who had just arrived at the circuit crashed with an entire stadium, the Paris-Bercy stadium, that turned against him to support his French player. Hugo Gaston.
It was hell Alcaraz he is used to being a welcome novelty at every event. “I knew it would be difficult to deal with the environment there but I didn’t think it would be so heavy,” he admitted. Charlie.
An injury causes physical and internal pain, as it did this week in Rio, where he suffered a grade II lateral sprain in his right ankle. Or those general cramps during the Roland Garros 2023 semifinal, match Novak Djokovic.
His rivalry with Djokovic That’s very intense Carlos Alcaraz It ended in tears after the loss. On the court it was seen how he couldn’t hold back his tears after losing in the final in Cincinnati. “These kinds of defeats hurt, they hurt, I won’t lie. Although I don’t know why I cried, I fought until the last ball,” explained the Murcian, who had the ball to win the match. .
He cried after the battle, but so did his brother Alvarowho he addressed in the ceremonial speech after the presentation of the trophy.
When was the last time Alcaraz cried? He did it behind closed doors, in the locker room. And he crossed again Novak Djokovic on their way. “I’m not sure, but I’ll say that after losing in the semifinals of the ATP Finals in Turin against Djokovic,” he declared in an interview with the Marca newspaper in Rio.
It was a complicated phase, like the end of the season where he did not achieve good results. Keep fighting to straighten the path. He made the quarterfinals at the Australian Open, the semifinals in Buenos Aires and retired due to injury in Rio.
He wants revenge. If medical forecasts are met, on March 3 he will compete in the Las Vegas exhibition match Rafael Nadalahead of his participation in the Masters 1000 ATP in Indian Wells, where he will defend his title.
He has not won the trophy since Wimbledon 2023, his last final was in Cincinnati against Djokovic, in August. Too much time for a player of his size Carlos Alcaraz.
