Carlos Alcaraz He wanted to emphasize that “this trophy means a lot.” For many reasons. Because this is the first one he has lifted in seven months, after Wimbledon 2023, until he arrives with many unknowns to clear in Indian Wells. The slip in Rio de Janeiro, minutes after his debut, meant going to the California desert with a grade II lateral sprain in his right ankle.
“There were many doubts to see if I could play, to play even at the best level,” confessed Alcaraz, who recalled “a first 30-minute training session, without moving. I tried with all my might. demanding the players and I don’t feel good.”
He and his team dedicated themselves to the work of physical and mental recovery. “I overcame all the problems and I am improving every day,” congratulated the Murcian, 20 years old and world No. 2.
The double champion of Indian Wells, after losing again in the final match Daniel Medvedev in two sets (7-6(5), 6-1), he was very happy when he met his team in his box, technicians and friends.
And he wanted to make a public acknowledgment, addressing them in court in Spanish, after protocol in English. “They were quite intense weeks, of great work, which we enjoyed. We didn’t know if we could play at the best level, at one hundred percent, but we did everything we could. Without everyone’s work it wouldn’t have been possible. I love you so much,” he commented to his people.
“To Juan Carlos (Ferrero), Albert (Molina, manager), Juanjo (Moreno, physio), Juanjo (López, doctor), Alberto (Lledó, physical trainer), my father, my uncle. To all of you, I love you indeed”.
All, in “a track that is yours,” Medvedev joked about Alcaraz’s dominance that he was suffering. “I hope I return to the final again, better without you,” he stressed.
