I am ambitious and my goals are big – Carlos Alcaraz

 

World No.1 Carlos Alcaraz has revealed that he dares to dream big and he is really ambitious. The Spaniard has shown all the skills to go a long way in his career and he has hogged the limelight with his impressive play.

Alcaraz recently clinched Indian Wells after beating Daniil Medvedev in the summit clash and reclaimed the numero uno position in the ATP Pepperstone rankings. In fact, the Spaniard has made a rollicking comeback after recovering from an injury.

Meanwhile, Alcaraz won the US Open 2022 and broke a plethora of records after winning his first Major. For the young Spaniard, the sky is the limit and he has been chasing his goals with great success.

Alcaraz stated that he wants to give all the trouble to Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, who are still going strong.

In an interview with Eurosport, Alcaraz said, “​​I want to beat Nadal and Djokovic, but I am not here to take any Grand Slams away from them or prevent either of them from being the best of all time. I am just trying to write my own history.”

He added, “I want to win Slams. I am ambitious and my goals are big, I’m not going to lie. My dream is to be one of the best in history, to try to get somehow close to them. I know it will be very complicated – maybe even impossible – but in this world you have to think big and dream big. In the end, that is my dream today.”

Alcaraz revealed he wanted to hit the ground running after recovering from his leg injury, like the way Nadal and Djokovic have managed to do on multiple occasions in their respective glorious careers.

The 19-year-old said, “I thought a lot about Nadal when I was recovering from my injury. Often when the best players have been out for a long time, they win their first tournament back. I wanted to be one of those players. Those examples of successful returns have motivated me – like what Rafa did at the 2022 Australian Open, and when Djokovic has returned from absences, he has won important tournaments. These examples are inspirations to think, ‘let’s get back training’ because I also want to come back the best I can to try to win.”

Alcaraz will face Dušan Lajović in the third round of the Miami Open on Monday.
