What’s Next for Carlos Alcaraz

Carlos Alcaraz is gearing up for the US Open with a renewed focus after a challenging end to his summer season. Despite a stellar run earlier in the year, including victories at the French Open and Wimbledon and a silver medal at the Olympics, Alcaraz faced a surprising setback with a defeat to Gael Monfils in the Cincinnati Open’s second round. The loss was particularly disappointing for Alcaraz, who described the match as the worst of his career, struggling both emotionally and physically on the hard court. As he reflects on the match and its impact on his game, Alcaraz remains optimistic about the US Open, where he made his grand slam breakthrough in 2022. With stiff competition ahead from top players like Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner, Alcaraz is committed to regaining his form and reclaiming the world number one ranking by year-end. His focus now is on adapting to the hard courts and finishing the season on a high note.
