“I never tire of winning, I’m ambitious, I always want more,” says Carlos Alcaraz three weeks from Roland-Garros

Three weeks before Roland-Garros, the big favorite at the Porte d’Auteuil was in Paris on Monday, May 8. The Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz spent a few hours in the French capital to receive his award for sports revelation of the year at the Laureus Awards. Invited to Tout le Sport on Tuesday, the Murcian, only 20 years old, winner of the last US Open and the youngest player to become world number one, told Fabien Lévêque his “proud to receive this award”.

Head full of goals

“Everything is going very fast, I am very young, and I have already accomplished a lot”, affirmed the winner of the last two tournaments on clay, in Barcelona and Madrid. And what is certain is that the Spaniard is far from satisfied. “I never get tired of winning. I’m ambitious, I always want more. I’m never tired of winning,” justified who could succeed his compatriot Rafael Nadal, still uncertain for the tournament.

However, in the event that the Marjorquin would be in the game, he could meet Carlos Alcaraz in the round of 16. A prognosis “terrible”, according to the current world number 2. “Imagine playing against Rafa here in Paris, it would be a challenge, but I always want to play against the best. I hope he arrives in Paris 100% and we can see him play again”, did he declare. His ambition is clear: to become one of the best players in history. “It’s a goal I’ve set myself, it’s my dream. It may seem too ambitious, too big, but I’m thinking big and it’s a goal I want to achieve.”
