Alcaraz had lost to Novak Djokovic in the French Open 2023 semi-finals and would be keen to go all the way this time around, but asked about his goals for this season, said it바카라s a dream for him to bring an Olympic gold to his country Spain.

바카라I would say the Olympic title. For me it바카라s a dream to take the gold to my country, to Spain. And gold is one of the greatest things in sport in general. So I would prefer to win the Olympic gold this year. Although바카라 I would win both, I바카라m not going to lie," Alcaraz said on Monday, February 12.

The Spaniard, tennis' next big thing, added that he doesn't have a particular urge to win one Grand Slam title over the other. 바카라I don바카라t care if it바카라s Roland Garros, Australia or any other. It makes me very excited to win it, at Roland Garros I was already in the semis and I hope this year to improve that result. I do not feel that I should win it, that I have that thorn in my side. But it is a dream to win it.바카라

Though he lost to Alexander Zverev in the Australian Open quarter-finals earlier this year, Alcaraz maintained that he was in good touch and raring to go. 바카라My current level is very good, I바카라m playing with a lot of confidence, at a good level.

"I바카라ve just come from playing good tennis in Australia, my training days on clay have been very good, I바카라m physically at a very high level. I바카라ve always been very ambitious, I want to win everything, that바카라s what drives me to continue at the highest level.바카라
