Although Carlos Alcaraz is currently the Wimbledon champion, his amazing victory at SW19 occurred just over a month after he was heartbrokenly defeated by Novak Djokovic in the Paris semifinals. Alcaraz’s physical condition failed him that day when the pressure increased and he began to cramp. But, with wisdom beyond his years, he feels that just a few weeks later, he was able to win Wimbledon because of that setback.
“Absurd”: Alcaraz wins the opening match in a stunning fashion.
With just four games lost in the opening round against JJ Wolf, the Spanish sensation Carlos Alcaraz is well on his way to winning his first French Open championship.
In light of the fact that Alcaraz hasn’t had an entirely trouble-free clay court season until yet, it was a decisive move to begin the competition.
Alcaraz, though, was one of the obvious favorites to win the title the previous year.

After defeating Madrid and Barcelona en route to Paris, the Spaniard advanced to the semifinals with just a single set lost. However, facing Novak Djokovic in a Grand Slam match is never simple, as the two players battle it out point-to-point in the opening several sets.
Unstoppable Djokovic advances to the Roland-Garros final by defeating Alcaraz in four sets.
It appeared to be an epic, but Alcaraz’s injuries prevented the game from ending in a barnstorming fashion and made the conclusion unfair to the team.
But rather than dwelling on the drawbacks, Alcaraz might learn one very important lesson from that heartbreaking setback.
He declared, “I’m trying to learn from situations, from competitions and matches.” “I feel like I’ve been on the tour for two years, and with the two slams, I’ve accomplished a lot so far. “I learned a lot here from the semi-final with Djokovic; thanks to that match, I may win Wimbledon,” the player said. “But I’m continuously learning, from the first rounds, from every match.” And everything I’ve accomplished is a result of the past circumstances and games I’ve participated in.
Day fourteen of the 2023 Wimbledon tennis competition saw Carlos Alcaraz defeat Novak Djokovic in the men’s singles final on Centre Court. After the match, he kissed the trophy during the presentation ceremony.
After the heartbreak of Roland-Garros, Alcaraz’s Wimbledon victory was the ideal way to bounce back and cemented his status as a top all-around player.
What form does he actually bring to the French Open this year, though, given that his season has been disrupted by those niggling injuries?
“A year after the semi-final, I want to emphasize that I’m a different player, more mature, and I’ve grown up a lot since then,” the player said. Let’s see how it goes. I want to feel good before every match and every time I get onto the court.
“I think I did quite well [in R1] and I consider myself a player who doesn’t [need to] play a lot of matches, a lot of hours to establish the rhythm, to get to 100%.”I felt great during the top players’ practice here; I moved well and made my strokes. I thought that was all I needed to prepare for the competition because all I had done in the days before had been beneficial to me.
Alcaraz, ranked third in Paris, will face Jesper De Jong, the opponent of Jack Draper, in the second round.
