Alcaraz gives his thoughts on heralding a new era in tennis

Carlos Alcaraz may have accomplished a significant achievement in his career, but he is keen on continuing in perfect form over the remainder of the season. After an incredible grass-court swing, he has set his eyes on the Hopman Cup for now, which begins on the 19th of July.
