Carlos Alcaraz recently reflected on his disappointment at not securing the gold medal at the Paris Olympics. Despite having an impressive summer, Alcaraz admitted that he always strives for improvement and felt he could have performed better. He expressed a deep desire to learn from his experiences, stating, “I always want to be better, and I always think I can do better.”

Alcaraz was particularly introspective about his performance in Paris, noting that he was unable to handle the situation as well as he had hoped. “That’s what I saw in Paris, that I couldn’t deal with this situation as good as I wanted,” he shared. This realization led him to think critically about his approach and to seek ways to better manage similar situations in the future.

He also acknowledged the uncertainty of future opportunities, drawing a parallel with Rafael Nadal, who won the gold medal in 2008 but never reached another Olympic final. “I’m probably going to have another chance in the future, but I’m not sure about it,” Alcaraz remarked, remaining hopeful yet acutely aware that nothing is guaranteed.
