Carlos Alcaraz believes he can lift the ATP Finals trophy despite Paris setback

Alcaraz will look to regain momentum in Turin after losing his second round match to Roman Safiullin in Paris. In Turin, he faces a tough group with Alexander Zverev, Daniil Medvedev, and Andrey Rublev for company. But Alcaraz believes the indoor hard courts will suit his powerful game.

“Of course I wanted to do better in Paris but it’s not the end of the season,” Alcaraz said in an interview with ATP media.

He further added, “Yes, of course, it’s a big moment for me, qualified to the ATP Finals with the eight best players of the year. It’s a goal for me and I’m really excited to start the tournament and obviously my goal is to win it and I’ll give whatever it takes to take the trophy home.”

The ATP Finals presents an opportunity for Alcaraz to add another important title to his expanding trophy cabinet. However, he has little chance of finishing as the year-end number one given the large points gap to his rival, Novak Djokovic.

Despite cementing his position as the best player among the current generation, Alcaraz’s hunger to improve himself is still burning brightly. This was on full display as he reflected on his disappointing exit in the Paris Masters.

Lessons from Paris exit

While disappointed with his early Paris exit, Alcaraz believes there are learnings to take from the defeat. “It shows me I still have things to improve,” he acknowledged. The loss highlighted areas Alcaraz must shore up, such as maintaining focus.

His coach Juan Carlos Ferrero will work with Alcaraz to analyze the defeat and identify weaknesses exploited. Alcaraz’s work ethic suggests he will rectify issues in time for Turin. The Spaniard remains confident his all-court game can shine on indoor hard courts.

After a sensational season that saw him win six titles, including his maiden Wimbledon Championships, Alcaraz has set his sights on the biggest title still up for grabs. Will the Spanish tennis sensation show his mental strength to the world as he aims to complete another strong year?
