Carlos Alcaraz returns to Wimbledon and finds a new rival

Carlos Alcaraz has been training with several players in these days leading up to Wimbledon. where he presents himself as the man to beat: “It feels good to come back here to Wimbledon as the defending champion. I am really excited to start the tournament. I can&#8217t wait to play my first match on Monday. Let”s see how it will go.

Some exchanges he also had with Brazilian rising star Joao Fonseca: “I was excited to play with him, since the last time we had crossed paths was at the 2023 Masters. Grass tennis is a fairly new thing for him. We talked about it: he doesn&#8217t have much experience on grass.”

“But his tennis, the fact that he likes to play aggressively, hit big forehands, go to the net I am pretty sure will lead him to become a level player on grass very soon. He is very young and he is just starting to play certain tournaments, but his level is already very, very high”.

“When I play without thinking about anything else, but just playing or having fun, I think I have the freedom to do as I please. When that happens, I always show my best tennis, my best level” the words of the 22-year-old Spaniard who for the second year in a row arrives at the All England Club as defending champion and tomorrow in the first round faces Italy&#8217s Fabio Fognini.
