Spanish tennis sensation Carlos Alcaraz has his sights firmly fixed on reclaiming the World No.1 ranking and wresting the crown back from Novak Djokovic. Alcaraz, who made waves by defeating Djokovic in the Wimbledon 2023 final, faced setbacks in the Cincinnati Masters and the US Open 2023. Having experienced a meteoric rise in the world rankings, Alcaraz’s exceptional agility and unique mindset towards the game set him apart from other young talents. After a victorious second-round performance at the US Open, he confidently declared his objective. At the moment, it’s a goal for me. I’ve said before that Novak and I are engaged in a fierce battle for the No.1 spot. I anticipated that he would regain the No.1 rank after the US Open. Once the tournament concludes, I’ll be aiming to reclaim it as soon as possible. That’s my goal, and I’m actively working towards it. My aim is to regain it before the year ends. His unwavering focus and determination remain his strengths, enabling him to remain composed and calm amidst the competition. I’m not dwelling on defending my title. Last year’s championship isn’t my primary focus. I’m concentrating on performing at my peak, recapturing the level of play I exhibited last year, and replicating my past successes. That’s my current mindset, Alcaraz shared with reporters. Having progressed to round 2 of the US Open after his opponent Dominik Koepfer retired due to an ankle injury, Alcaraz is gearing up for the upcoming matches. With a relentless attitude and an extraordinary pool of talent, it wouldn’t be a surprise if he regains his coveted crown and reclaims the coveted World No.1 ranking. Alcaraz’s exceptional journey continues to captivate tennis enthusiasts around the world.
