At 18 years of age, Carlos Alcaraz Garfia had a fantastic season to end the year ranked number 32 (career-high). The Spanish sensation has defeated many top players claiming the scalps of the likes of Stefanos Tsitsipas and Jannik Sinner.
Carlito ended 2021 on a high note after winning the prestigious next-gen finals in Milan. Talking about his target in 2022, the young Spanish player said that he would like it to finish the season ranked in the top 15.
During a recent interview with Puntodebreak, Carlito revealed:
“As for ranking, finishing top-15 is a good brand, although I know that it is now very difficult to move forward, but it is an ambitious challenge.”
Then Alcaraz elaborated about his intention to keep on improving.
“For me, a disappointment would be to fall into the same thing I have fallen this year, repeat the things I have been doing wrong, not grow, remain stagnant, that would be a great disappointment for me. Personally, I think I have to keep growing, anything other than following that path would be bad news,” he added.
