Carlos Alcaraz is not your typical tennis star. ‌He acknowledges the⁤ buzz around his new documentary, which highlights​ his unconventional⁤ approach to the sport.⁢ Instead of solely focusing on relentless training, Alcaraz‌ balances his demanding⁤ career with moments of youthful exuberance. From bursting ⁣ into Ibiza before​ Wimbledon to indulging in ​the occasional madness, he humanizes the often-sterile world of elite sports.

Alcaraz’s ​documentary offers a behind-the-scenes look at his life, showcasing his personality both on ⁣and off the⁤ court.

This approach contrasts sharply‌ with the legacy ⁤of ‍Rafael Nadal, whose career was ​built on unwavering discipline and non-negotiable suffering. Whether Alcaraz’s path ‌will lead to ​sustained success remains to ⁤be seen,but he remains committed to enjoying life while striving to⁣ be the best.

Alcaraz’s​ beliefs echoes the sentiments of‌ tennis legend john McEnroe, who emphasized‍ the importance of letting off steam. McEnroe suggested ‍that this balance is not just beneficial but necessary for a player’s well-being and longevity.

Following a recent triumph, Alcaraz planned‌ to celebrate ‍with⁢ family and​ friends, a testament to his down-to-earth nature. His coach, juan Carlos Ferrero, noted, I will not deceive you, I will celebrate tonight. This came after Alcaraz only lost one game during the entire tournament leading up⁣ to that point, a final in Barcelona where ⁢he⁤ suffered a muscle ⁤break against Holger Rune.

Ferrero, while pleased with Alcaraz’s‍ victory, wasn’t entirely surprised by his resilience.He recounted how Alcaraz had never‍ given up during ⁤training sessions, a trait ⁤that‍ translated to his performance‌ on the ⁤court. Since I have Beacheado [entrenado] He never launched a game and today would not have been different. It is not something that surprises me, but I am surprised to have done it because of‍ how ​difficult it was, Ferrero said.

Balancing rigorous training with relaxation​ and enjoyment ⁢can lead to better performance and prevent burnout.

Ferrero emphasized​ Alcaraz’s unwavering belief in himself:‍ Carlos believed until the end, until the last ball. He looked at me ⁢and said: ‘I’m here.‍ Come on! Another time.’ And with him everything​ is‌ possible and he did it again.He was convinced of one hundred⁣ percent that‍ he had to go for the game. Another incredible success.

After his ​victory,⁢ Alcaraz, visibly emotional, told Mats Wilander that he played⁣ with cabeza, corazón ⁣y cojones (head, heart, and courage), a motto inspired by his grandfather. He stressed the importance of staying positive and overcoming challenges, stating, The great champions get the best of themselves in difficult times and I want to be one of ‌them.

Alcaraz added, I put my heart.I wanted to be one of those players who save a game point and win a Grand ​Slam. I only thoght about one point every time, only the next point. With 20 titles already, he aims to join the⁤ ranks of tennis legends.

He even⁣ compared his‌ final to the epic 2012 Australian⁤ Open final between novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, saying, I think it was one of the ‍best endings in the history of the Grand Slam.The best? I will tell one, that of Djokovic and Nadal at the opening ⁢of Australia [en 2012] ​ who lasted more than five hours ‍ [exactamente 5h 53m, la más extensa de todos los tiempos]. Now ‌I put my name in one of the final ones.

Ultimately, Alcaraz’s approach is a personal choice: Different, more human and imperfect, if you want. Neither better nor ⁤worse, good or bad. Simply a choice. And⁢ it’s yours.

Alcaraz boasts a perfect record in major finals, having won all‍ five he has played: the ⁣U.S. Open 2022, Wimbledon 2023 and 2024, and Roland Garros 2024 and 2025. Only the Australian Open title eludes him.

He is quickly ⁢climbing the historical ranks, standing just below tennis greats Boris ​Becker ‌and Stefan edberg in terms of major‌ titles. His ‌success also contributes⁤ to spain’s extraordinary record in ⁤the French Open,⁣ with Spanish players having won 18 of the last 24 editions.
