'Surprising To Certain Point, But Was To Be Expected': Alcaraz's Physio On Wimbledon Win
The physio of Carlos Alcaraz, Juanjo Moreno, spoke with the ATP website about the Spaniard's win at Wimbledon.
Carlos Alcaraz won the biggest trophy of his career at Wimbledon recently by beating Novak Djokovic in the final. It's the most prestigious trophy he's ever won and, quite frankly, the biggest win of his career. Beating Djokovic on grass is tremendous, but even more so when put into perspective with Alcaraz's track record on the surface.
It was a huge thing for the youngster though not all were surprised. Yes, it was unexpected but those closest to Alcaraz always believed he could get it done. One of those is his physio Juanjo Moreno who talked to ATPTour.com about the win.
If we weren’t surprised, we wouldn’t be human. As Carlos Alcaraz’s team, captained by Juan Carlos Ferrero, our targets and goals couldn’t be bigger. When we prepare Carlos for any competition it is for him to win. As a team there is no other goal in our head that is not winning the tournament we are entering.
Moreno admitted that the win in London was a bit surprising but also expected considering the amount of work the team does. Still, winning trophies and events is the expectation of everyone in the team so it will never be a huge surprise.
To us it’s surprising from a certain point of view, but from another the result achieved by Carlos was also to be expected. We prepare to win every competition we enter, therefore we try to choose carefully which ones we go to.
If we managed to win Queen’s and Wimbledon with such a short period of adaptation to the surface, of course it’s surprising. Surprising from the point of view of a huge historic achievement, but not because we weren’t expecting it. Really, we were expecting to win it and that’s what we work for every day.
