Alcaraz Talks About Becoming No.1

Alcaraz revealed:

“It’s great that the people talk about you, think that I’m going to be No. 1 in the world, but of course it’s a little bit of pressure on me. But I try not to think about it. Just of course be No. 1 in the world is my dream, my dream since I started playing tennis.”
