Carlos Alcaraz had a tremendous
Wimbledon campaign last year but everything after that was rather uninspiring from the Spaniard.
The Spaniard arrived in England with the hope of learning how to play well on grass. He did far more than that by winning the Queen's Club ATP 500 event and then adding a second Grand Slam at Wimbledon by
beating Novak Djokovic in the final.
Everybody expected some great things from him after that and while he had some great moments it didn't quite live up to the hype. He played in the Cincinnati Open final and almost won and
made the US Open semi-final but the drop off after that was noticeable.
His stay in China wasn't very good and the indoor season didn't show anything different either. He did play well at the ATP Finals but got beaten rather easily in the semi-final leaving him visibly disappointed. Over a month after that, following his third-round win at the 2024
Australian Open, Alcaraz addressed the 'slump' he had after Wimbledon.
Alcaraz almost didn't seem focused enough in some of those matches. The US Open match against Daniil Medvedev was one
he lamented often in the weeks after admitting to not handling it well. The goal right now is to focus on doing the right things.
