In a recent interview, Carlos Alcaraz expressed his opinion on enjoying the game more than fixating on his ATP standing.
The Spanish player has made it clear that chasing the world rankings is not his priority now. Carlos, by stating this opinion, has refreshed his perspective on his tennis career.
In a recent interview, an interviewer asked Carlos about the probability of him reclaiming the World No.2 position in the rankings and the possibility of him being at the top of the Roland Garros with his rival Jannik Sinner.
“Well, talking about the things that I learned the last couple of months is not thinking about anything else but enjoying on court,” Alcaraz said. “Something that I realized that I had to do is not think about anything else but enjoy. So I’m not thinking about the ranking anymore.”
This answer from the World No. 2 signals a noticeable shift in his mindset. Carlos Alcaraz seems to be focused more on the performance and personal satisfaction rather than just running behind rankings.
“Just keep going, making the things that I enjoy, that make me happy,” he continued. “It is a step on the court, showing good tennis, and that’s it. If I win, it is great. If I don’t win, I will learn and just keep going.”
