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 it바카라™s a dream for him to bring an Olympic gold to his country Spain.
바카라śI would say the Olympic title. For me it바카라™s 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, I바카라™m 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. 바카라śI don바카라™t care if it바카라™s 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.바카라ť
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. 바카라śMy current level is very good, I바카라™m playing with a lot of confidence, at a good level.
"I바카라™ve just come from playing good tennis in Australia, my training days on clay have been very good, I바카라™m physically at a very high level. I바카라™ve always been very ambitious, I want to win everything, that바카라™s what drives me to continue at the highest level.바카라ť
