The Murcia has been perfecting a method to be fresh and concentrated. And in this it has a lot to do with the fact of choosing with great care and Atino the tournaments to which it goes, and also enjoy necessary moments of disconnection.

All this also influences when mitigating the risk of injuries, something that in recent years has hurt the great names of tennis.

The selection of tournaments

The planning of Carlos Alcaraz has a lot to do with good performance that is offering this season. The fact of choosing in a cautious way the place to compete, and above all knowing how to say “no” to certain tournaments, has had a very positive impact on your tennis.

The Murcian and his team have learned that we must not ‘burn’ or force for being in all tournaments. It is better to play less and better. Thus the body will be better preserved and the mind will not saturate as soon.

The living example of this is the recent resignation to play next Shanghai 1,000 masters. “After talking to my team, we believe that the best decision is to rest and recover,” said number 1 his absence in China.

In addition, Alcaraz is clear that what should prevail in his career are 1,000 masters and especially the Grand Slams. This season has barely played ATP500 And he has not dropped to the lower step, as he did other years in Buenos Aires.

The necessary disconnection

A guy as familiar as Carlos Alcaraz values ​​disconnection time as no one. Elite athletes spend a lot of time away from home between trips, competitions and concentrations, so the few moments of personal enjoyment are increasingly precious.

In this balance between leisure, rest and care for high competition, Carlos Alcaraz has been able to move perfectly. And surely it has not been easy for him.

Este año tuvo que renunciar a participar en el Masters 1.000 de Madrid. Una decisión sin duda dolorosa que además dejó al torneo sin la gran estrella a la que todos querían ver. Sin embargo, prefirió no forzar para cuidarse y poco después acabó ganando Roland Garros.

Tampoco jugó el Masters 1.000 de Canadá y ahora renuncia al de Shanghái. Todo ello para no llegar lastrado al final de la temporada.

Pero más allá del reposo físico, el tenista ha tenido tiempo para esa desconexión mental tan necesaria. Pasajes como sus famosas vacaciones en Ibiza rodeado de su círculo más íntimo han sido momentos fundamentales esta temporada, tanto o más como los entrenamientos tan duros.

Aquel descanso se produjo justo tras ganar su segundo Roland Garros y le sirvió para recargar pilas antes de la gira de hierba. Lo que sucedió después es historia, la victoria en Queen’s y la final perdida en Wimbledon ante Sinner. 

Alcaraz y su equipo parecen haber encontrado el equilibrio necesario y aplican un método que evita las desconexiones del tenista en pleno partido. Ahora se ha convertido en una máquina casi perfecta de ganar y arrasa con todo lo que se le pone a su paso.
