Dealing with losses and still not giving up is not everyone’s cup of tea. However, the World’s No.2 Carlos Alcaraz has proved yet again why every pioneer of tennis acknowledges his talent. Alcaraz recently had to face a lot of pits before he could form a stable footing. However, it seems like he has established himself for the second time and is ready for the upcoming match against the World’s No.1 Novak Djokovic.

In his recent statement, the Spaniard mentioned his mental fortitude and the way he has worked on it. He also acknowledged Djokovic’s strength, but the champ remains confident in his own abilities.

Carlos Alcaraz about mental strength

In the face of adversity at the ATP Finals, Carlos Alcaraz exhibited such resilience that could rival any seasoned player. The journey to the semi-finals at the ATP Finals was a rollercoaster. It started with a setback against Alexander Zverev. However, Alcaraz’s comeback was nothing short of impressive. He secured victories against Andrey Rublev and Daniil Medvedev in his next two matches. This not only propelled him to the semi-finals but also marked the end of a recent string of losses. Amidst the anticipation surrounding his clash with Djokovic, Alcaraz faced a question from the press about his mental preparation.

The question majorly focused on his development since the French Open. Alcaraz responded with a candid acknowledgment of his mental growth. Contrasting his experiences in Paris, he emphasized his improved ability to navigate pressure and challenging moments. He said: “Probably I’m stronger mentally. Right now, comparing to Paris, I’ve spoken about dealing with the pressure, dealing with tough, tough moments. In Paris I didn’t deal with the pressure. I learned about that situation.”
