The Davis Cup has returned to action this Tuesday with the group stage being played in Valencia, where Carlos Alcaraz leads the Spanish team that is looking for a ticket to the Finals that will be played next November in Malaga.
The current world number three spoke to the media for the first time about his US Open and how he dealt with the premature elimination. “After the defeat I had a couple of bad days.
“We were clear that I had to be back on the courts and in training as soon as possible. I have been training here in Valencia for several days and I am very motivated ,” said the 21-year-old tennis player in words shared by Diario Marca .
Carlos Alcaraz sees the positive side of things: It is an experience from which to learn for the future
Alcaraz has had a brilliant year with titles at Roland Garros and Wimbledon, in addition to the silver medal he won at Paris 2024, which contrasts somewhat with his current form, in which he was unable to shine on the North American hard court tour, where he was unable to defend the semi-finals of the US Open he played in last year.
The disciple of Juan Carlos Ferrero said he is in good physical shape and ready to lead his country. “It has been a tour that I hoped would be better. I have not managed to play at the level I would have liked, but in the end it is very difficult to perform at the level you want every day and you have to be prepared to accept things as they come,” acknowledged the four-time Grand Slam champion.
“I think I lacked preparation after a very intense summer, with few days of rest, disconnection and training for the American tour and to arrive there in the best possible way. It is an experience from which to learn for the future ,” said Carlos Alcaraz.
