He is aiming to defend the title he won at the Buenos Aires tournament last year. He says he would prefer to win gold at the Olympic Games rather than Roland Garros, but admits that he wants to win both this year. The world No. 2 is also aiming to win Wimbledon 2023, his first Grand Slam title.


The world number 2 is the great figure of the Argentina Open. He spoke before his debut and set his priorities.


Carlos Alcaraz

took the

ATP

circuit by storm a couple of seasons ago, when in 2022, at just 19 years old, he won his first Grand Slam in New York and became the youngest number one in history.

Since then, he has taken it upon himself to demonstrate that these two immense achievements were not a coincidence.

Today he already has another "big" trophy in his showcase, that of

Wimbledon

2023, he is one of the great stars of the tour and has already left his mark in the world of racket.

And he still has his entire career ahead of him.

He knows.

Therefore, talented, competitive and ambitious, he is not satisfied with what he has achieved and "dreams big", as he recognized shortly before his debut at the

Argentina Open 2024

.

"I always want to win everything

," admits the Murcian, current number two in the world and top favorite in the Buenos Aires tournament, which he arrived for the second consecutive year with the aim of defending the title he won twelve months ago.

And that desire to continue adding more and more to his record was evident when he had to choose a conquest for this year: the title at the

Paris Olympic Games

or the

Roland Garros

title .

"Olympic gold. It is a dream to win medals for Spain, my country. And gold is one of the most important things in sport in general," he said without thinking too much about it.

Although, of course, he couldn't contain his hunger for glory and very quickly clarified with a laugh: "Actually, I'm not going to lie, I want to win both. But hey, if I have to choose one...".

News in development.
