Carlos Alcaraz excited for last challenge against Rafael Nadal

The words of Carlos Alcaraz

Carlos Alcaraz, who is waiting to challenge Rafael Nadal, spoke to puntodebreak.com about the Six Kings Slam: "For me these conditions are a little bit complicated, but I try to make them more difficult for my opponents, the ball runs a lot, bounces a lot, something I really enjoy, so I am enjoying my tennis, I am having fun".

"È it’s been a really good year for me, I have to say I’ve also been on a bit of a roller coaster. I won big tournaments this season, but at the same time there were several dates where I didn’t play as well as I would have liked. I have learned something everywhere, so è very nice for me to come here, turn off my mind a little bit;, play good tennis and have fun".

The next challenge will be really special: "I have been following Nadal’s matches since I started playing tennis, I admire him a lot, è he has been and continues to be my idol. Of course, è it is a pity that he announced that he will retire from tennis, è a really important person in my life, in my career, è he was one of the reasons why I wanted to become a professional tennis player".

"Knowing that he is retiring è hard for everybody, for me è a privilege to face him again. It’ll be difficult for me, but I’ll try to enjoy sharing a game with him. I saw him at the hotel and we were able to talk a little bit, about things outside of tennis, about life. He’ll give it his all in the semifinals, it doesn’t surprise me that he’s practicing 100 percent, hitting the ball very hard and feeling it very well, because he’ll be a legend, never mind that he’s not on Tour for four months. I know he will come back; stronger than ever. She will tryò to play good tennis, at the same level and without fear", he concluded.
