Despite losing already in the fourth round of the 2022 Wimbledon, Carlos Alcaraz sees only positives and ways how to improve on the grass-court.
It was only second Wimbledon appearance for 19-years-old Carlos Alcaraz and after reaching the second round last year, he got to the fourth round this season. In the future, he will be always entering the tournament as one of the favourites and the Spanish sensation believes that he can do well on grass in SW19 in the future.
“I'm going to try to be one of the best tennis players in the world for many years. Obviously Jannik is one of the best tennis players in the world as well. For sure he's going to be in the top for many years. I hope to have a good rivalry with him. We hope to fight for the best tournaments in the world and the best moments in the world together.”
“[At the] start [I] was really nervous. Playing on Centre Court is not easy for me. Jannik handled it better than me, the nerves and the pressure. I was trying to get better, trying to think [about] what was happening… I was struggling a lot with my serve and couldn't return well. After the third set I had chances to break to be up in the fourth, but I couldn't take the chances. I think the second break point he had, he broke me. It was tough to come back in the fourth being a break down. I couldn't take the chances. That's tough.”
“I felt really good here at Wimbledon playing on grass. I got a lot of experience playing on grass. Now I'm thinking that I could be a great player on grass. Next year I hope to play some tournaments before Wimbledon to adapt my game to get more used to playing here. But I would say I'm going to be a great player here on grass.”
