Following his third-round triumph over Jan-Lennard Struff on Centre Court, Carlos Alcaraz took a moment during his on-court interview to reflect on a unique experience off the tennis court. With a grin that matched the energy of his performance, the Spaniard recounted his recent golf outing with British legend Sir Andy Murray, describing it as both “funny and humbling.”
Golfing with a champion and learning from the best
Alcaraz revealed that the pre-tournament round of golf with Murray was part of his preparation for Wimbledon. “Playing with Andy was amazing,” he said. “He’s so competitive—even on the golf course. I thought I had a chance, but he beat me easily.” Laughing, he added, “He said it was like 6-2, 6-2 in tennis terms, but I think it was closer to 7-5, 6-3!”
The spirit of camaraderie and competition
Despite the loss, Alcaraz emphasized how much he enjoyed the experience. “It wasn’t just about the score,” he said. “We had a great time. It’s moments like these that remind me how lucky I am to share the sport with legends like Andy.” The two stars reportedly shared jokes and playful banter throughout the round, with Murray cheekily crediting Alcaraz’s partner for keeping him in the game.
Staying relaxed ahead of high-stakes matches
Alcaraz noted that spending time with Murray and other players off the court helped him stay grounded and relaxed. “It’s important to enjoy these moments,” he said. “Golf, good food, and laughter—it’s the perfect way to prepare mentally.” He credited the outing with helping him enter the match against Struff with a clear head and renewed focus.
Looking ahead with confidence and joy
As he continues his campaign for a third consecutive Wimbledon title, Alcaraz remains focused but lighthearted. “I’m here to enjoy every match, every moment,” he said. “Whether it’s on the court or the golf course, I just want to keep learning and having fun.” With his trademark smile and infectious energy, Alcaraz left the crowd cheering—not just for his tennis, but for the joy he brings to the game.
