Carlos Alcaraz, the rising star and two-time Grand Slam champion, has reached a significant milestone in the Australian Open, progressing to the fourth round for the first time in his career. The 20-year-old Spaniard shared his insights into his current form and aspirations.

Aim for Season-Long Consistency

Acknowledging occasional setbacks post-Wimbledon last year, Alcaraz expressed his determination to maintain peak performance throughout the entire season. He highlighted the importance of learning from past losses and consistently improving his game.

Third-Round Victory and Upcoming Challenge

Alcaraz’s journey in the Australian Open took a positive turn as his third-round opponent, Juncheng Shang, retired due to injury, with Alcaraz leading 6-1, 6-1, 1-0. The second-ranked player in the world is now set to face Serbian Miomir Kecmanovic in the round of 16.

When asked to rate his performance on a scale of 1 to 10, Alcaraz expressed contentment, rating it as a solid 7 or 8. He emphasized his daily improvement, adapting to the court, and growing more comfortable with each match. The young Wimbledon champion remains optimistic about his trajectory in the tournament.

Reflecting on Past Form and Future Goals

Alcaraz candidly discussed his post-Wimbledon dip in form, recognizing the need for greater consistency.
