Carlos Alcaraz declares his desire to go down in history as one of the all-time greats with excitement.
With his victory over Novak Djokovic on Sunday, the Spaniard won his second consecutive Wimbledon title 6-2, 6-2, 7-6 (4), bringing his total of grand slam victories to four before turning 22.
Alcaraz, who is only 21 years old, has already achieved incredible feats. He is the youngest winner of both the Roland Garros and Wimbledon in the same year, making history among players like Rafael Nadal, Djokovic, and Roger Federer.
After his post-match press conference, Alcaraz said: “Obviously it’s a great start of my career, but I have to keep going. It is a great feeling even thinking about being French Open winner and Wimbledon champion the same year, that few players have done it before. It’s unbelievable. I try to realise that I won Wimbledon twice and try to feel like it is the same feeling as last year. I have to keep building my path. At the end of my career, I want to sit at the same table as the big guys. That’s my main goal. That’s my dream right now. It doesn’t matter if I already won four grand slams at the age of 21. If I don’t keep going, all these tournaments for me, it doesn’t matter. I really want to keep going. I will try to keep winning and end my career with a lot of them.”
Alcaraz stated he hasn’t decided how many slams he wants to win. He added: “I don’t know what is my limit. I don’t want to think about it. I just want to keep enjoying my moment, to keep dreaming. So let’s see if, at the end of my career, it’s going to be 25, 30, 15, four. I don’t know. All I want to say is I want to keep enjoying, and let’s see what the future brings to me.”
