Carlos Alcaraz He is already in the final that he wanted, that of Wimbledon, and against Novak Djokovic, after another superb match in which he swallowed Daniil Medvedev. Without nerves or distractions. Second grand final as if he was a veteran. And he is exultant, hat at the ready to continue with what works. «It is possible that it is the best game that I have done not only on grass but on the circuit, I am liking this surface more and more. Above all, I like it more than last year, “it was explained in English.
Winning the title would already be special, but even more so for being against Novak Djokovic. Although he knows it will be very difficult. For the Serb first. «To win him you have to give everything on my part, tennis-wise, tactically and even then no one assures me that I will win. Concentrate and show the best level that Carlos Alcaraz has. It is difficult to find cracks in Djokovic. Right now I couldn’t tell. Honestly, I see very few holes and weak points in him and more playing a Grand Slam final. It is the second for me and the 35th for him. We have to think about me and my team to see him a point to hurt him ».
He does not even consider pressure a negative point in Djokovic: «He has pressure but he has shown in his career how well he manages it and how little it affects him. He may be more than in Paris, but he will show that he doesn’t affect me and everyone who has no pressure, that he is calm, without nerves. This is what Djokovic looks like on court.”
For himself afterwards: «Sunday’s final is a revenge against myself, to face what happened in the Roland Garros semifinals, to try to be better, to learn from it. It will be a personal struggle, not wanting the same thing to happen to me, to do things differently so that it doesn’t happen again. Among these different things, mental exercises, although he is not the Murcian to close his eyes and imagine what the game will be like, he did do it against Holger Rune. «I am not one of that, but if I need it I will do it. We will look for a way that this benefits me before the final.
But he is confident. «I think I’m playing at a brutal level, with a lot of confidence, moving very well. I would define myself as brilliant. It is a very good challenge for me. The great moments against great legends must be shown in the best version. I believe that I belong, I feel that I belong to these types of situations and we are going to show it. I’m not afraid, I really want to play this game. Whatever happens I always believe in myself and I think I can win and we’re going to go for it.”
