Carlos Alcaraz never made the Roland Garros final, but he hopes to win the very special event one day.

The French Open is one of the four Grand Slam tournaments, which is what every player dreams of winning. If you ask tennis players what they dreamed of while growing up, most will have similar dreams.

They all want to win a Grand Slam and become number one. Alcaraz has achieved both of those, but obviously, as a very competitive person, he wants more.

He hopes to go all the way at the Roland Garros at least once because it’s a very special event for him. Not just for him but for many Spaniards after seeing how many times Rafael Nadal won it.

“Roland Garros is a super special tournament for Spaniards because of what Rafa has achieved and for me it would be amazing to be able to win it, even just once… I’m going to try.”

The 20-year-old has had a good progression at the event so far, as he made the quarter-final in his first appearance. He then made the semi-final last year, losing to Novak Djokovic in a match which he technically could have won had he not struggled with cramps.

“I’ve grown and evolved. Two years ago, I was in the quarter-finals; Last year, I played in the semi-finals; Now the goal is to go to the final or be victorious […] I arrive on clay with a lot of desire and enthusiasm.”

The surface suits him, as he has already won multiple trophies on clay, so there is nothing to really prevent him from winning this event in the future. Some even consider him the favorite for this year’s clay season, even though he rejects that description, pointing to Djokovic and Jannik Sinner as possible challengers.
