Carlos Alcaraz, the young prodigy of Spanish tennis, has made it clear that his biggest goal is to reach the world number 1 position . In a recent interview, the talented 20-year-old player expressed his determination to continue improving and fight for the top spot in the ATP rankings, a dream that motivates him every day.

“ I’m going to do everything I can to become world number 1 ,” Alcaraz said with a confident smile. “It’s a big goal, but it’s what I want. I’ve worked very hard to get here and I’ll keep working even harder to reach that position,” added the current US Open champion.

Alcaraz, who has already proven his ability to compete with the best, reached World No. 1 for the first time in 2022 at the age of 19, becoming the youngest player in tennis history to achieve this feat. Although he has been surpassed by Novak Djokovic on several occasions, Alcaraz remains a fierce contender for tennis’ top spot.

Fight for leadership

The Spanish tennis player admits that the competition for the number 1 spot is not easy. With the presence of figures such as Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, and the rising Daniil Medvedev, Alcaraz knows that each tournament is a crucial opportunity to add points and get closer to his goal.

“It is difficult, of course. The other players at the top are very talented and have been there for many years. But I have confidence in my game and I know that if I keep improving, I can be at the top again,” said the young Spaniard.

Alcaraz also stressed that his focus is not only on the ranking, but on improving as a player and enjoying the process. “It’s not just about number 1, it’s about being the best version of myself every day. I want to win titles, continue growing and, above all, enjoy tennis,” he explained.

A winning mentality

What has caught the attention most about Alcaraz is his winning mentality and his maturity at such a young age. His ability to stay calm in decisive moments, as demonstrated in his victory at the 2022 US Open, has earned him recognition from experts and peers.

“The most important thing is to stay calm and focused at all times. I have learned a lot from my past experiences, and that helps me grow both on and off the court,” he said.

With a calendar full of challenges, Alcaraz has clear priorities for the near future: “My immediate goal is to continue winning important tournaments and improve my consistency. If I do all that, the number 1 will be a consequence of my hard work,” he concluded.

Alcaraz’s future is full of promise . With his exceptional talent, work ethic and determination to continue to grow, it is clear that he will remain one of the most exciting figures in world tennis for years to come.
