“For you to be the best, you have to beat the best”. These are the words of Carlos Alcaraz before the final with Novak Djokovic.
Carlos Alcaraz is in the final of Wimbledon 2023. He can’t hide his joy and emotions as says that is an honor and privilege to play in the final.
He said that he saw a good level in the court and tactical level also. Alcaraz said that the match against Medvedev is one of his best matches on grass. But this is not over as the best tennis player in the world says that is more coming ahead.
Asked how important is it to win against a champ like Novak, Alcaraz answered:
“It is extra motivation, it is much more special to play the final against a legend from our sport. If I win it would be amazing for me, not only to win a Wimbledon title, but do it against Novak would be super special.”
“I always say for you to be the best, you have to beat the best, you know and Novak is one of them so I’ll be great if I’ll do it.”
Semi-Final Match Ratio
“Well, yeah I mean that was probably one of the best matches not only on grass but also on tour. You know I rate eight from ten something like that. It was amazing for me. I saw that great level, so it is one of my best matches.”
Injury of Roland Garros and how to prevent it
“We will try to get into a core with not as much nerves as I probably had in French Open, in the semi-final. I try to pull out all my nerves, I will try to enjoy that moment, cause probably in the semi-final, in French Open, I didn’t do it, I didn’t enjoy it all in the first set probably.
“I’ll do something different before the matches. I prepared for the match a little bit differently from French Open. So it is going to be a little bit different and not to get cramped in the final, but I think I’ll be better on Sunday.”
“Well you know physically I’ll do it the same but, I was doing it before the matches, but probably in the mental part, I will do something different. Just stay calm and I’m not nervous. Some exercise in the mental part. I don’t know what I’m gonna do, but I’ll do some exercise to stay calm and try to forget that I’ll play a final against Novak.”
The Final ahead
Asked what kind of tactics he will use against Novak, Alcaraz responded that he does not know his tactics yet. He added that he will get deep into that because Novak has weaknesses. Carlos said he must find ways how to be dangerous for him.
In the Spaniard’s eye this is a chance to achieve glory and to enter in the history books. But not only as he faces quality and a great style of play. One thing is sure we will see a great final and both champions are already full of quality, courage and with amazing tennis skills.
