Carlos Alcaraz never faced Roger Federer in his career and during a recent event in Madrid, the 19-years-old Spaniard spoke about it.
Many players dreamed of facing Roger Federer when they were kids and Carlos Alcaraz was one of them. 7 years ago, the Spaniard stated that the Swiss Maestro is his biggest idol and unfortunately for him, he never managed to play against him.
"I always wanted to play Federer but I will never have the chance. Maybe it's better. At least I don't lose. Federer is class, elegance. Pure talent. He lasted so long for the style he had, making everything look so easy. He never retired from a match. I'm 19yo and already retired once. I feel privileged that I had the chance to watch him play in my childhood," said Alcaraz.
New world number 1 also spoke about his plans for the rest of the season. It seems that Alcaraz's schedule is really full and before the year ends, he wants to add as many points as possible to increase his lead as world number 1.
"I'm #1 and Grand Slam champ so the goal now is simple: win more Slams and stay as #1 as long as I can (...) I'm gonna play Astana, Basel, Paris, ATP Finals and Davis. Goal is to finish the year as #1"
