Carlos Alcaraz spoke candidly at the Laver Cup press conference about his unforgettable comeback at Roland Garros earlier this year. The Spaniard, who overcame a two-set deficit in the final to claim his second French Open title, credited his mental resilience and unwavering self-belief as the driving forces behind his performance.
“I always believed I could come back. I decided I wasn’t going to give up, that I would give it my all,” Alcaraz said. “I always thought I would win, and that was the key. It was all about believing in myself.”
His words resonated with fans and fellow players alike, highlighting the psychological strength that has become a hallmark of his young career.
From Paris to San Francisco
Alcaraz’s journey from the clay courts of Paris to the hard courts of San Francisco has been marked by consistency and determination. At just 22, he has already established himself as one of the most formidable competitors on the ATP Tour, with multiple Grand Slam titles and a reputation for thriving under pressure.
During the Laver Cup, Alcaraz is expected to lead Team Europe in both singles and doubles matches, bringing his trademark intensity and flair to the team format. His presence adds weight to Europe’s campaign, especially after his decisive performances in previous editions.
A champion’s perspective
Alcaraz’s reflections on his Roland Garros triumph go beyond the physical effort. He emphasized the importance of mental preparation and the ability to stay composed in the face of adversity.
“It’s not just about hitting the ball well. It’s about staying calm, trusting your instincts, and never letting doubt take over,” he explained. His approach to competition continues to inspire a new generation of players who see in him a model of courage and conviction.
As the Laver Cup unfolds, Alcaraz’s leadership and experience will be crucial. Whether on clay or hard court, his belief in himself remains unshaken—and that belief continues to shape his legacy.
