Alcaraz: Perfect does not exist, but can touch

Carlos Alcaraz walked in the corridor of Arthur Ashe, New York, hugging the American trophy tightly as if the little girl. "Watch out, don't let it fall! Not good at all ... ", I'm joking when you leave. Is it your perfect tournament?

- Perhaps so, because I played at a very high level from start to finish, maintaining stability in all matches. Considering on the expertise, these are two great weeks of competition. After all, I tried every day to look forward to this. You have to appreciate the results because winning the Grand Slam is extremely difficult, so now it is time to enjoy.

- Coach Juan Carlos Ferrero mentioned "Perfect ", and the number one former world Mats Wilander said that he "so excellent and comprehensive " that made him worried about the future of tennis village. How do you feel with those compliments?

- We try to become our best version every day. For me, that is the most important thing. Ferrero and I used to talk about perfection because I played well from the beginning to the end of the tournament, but in fact, I didn't think it existed. Perfect can never be achieved, but maybe we can touch it. Therefore, I hold my feet on the ground by reminding myself that I can always progress, that at once, there will be another player, or even Jannik Sinner itself, can overcome me and be better than me. We have to move forward, practice and complete every day. Therefore, I understand that I will never be perfect. Just try to touch it. That is what keeps me motivated.

- It seems that the criticism is also his motivation, especially when some recently some people think that he is a player who likes partying and lacks dedication?

- No, the motivation comes from myself. Obviously, since the documentary about me A Mi Manera (my way) was released at the end of April, there have been a lot of talk about it. People say I'm addicted to party ... But I just like to enjoy life! Who doesn't like to enjoy!

- If we know how to arrange, we will have time for everything, right?

- I think that is why we work, endure hard, accept away from home for a long time; Then then have their own moments and have fun. Each person enjoyed his own way, and personal, I like to go out to have fun, because I am 22 years old. Who has never done that at this age? Who has never enjoyed the age of 22? I like to spend fun with my family and friends, whether going to party or just a softer plan ... It is important to have a quality, meaningful time at home with my family to get more motivation before entering the tournament. He even talked about maturity. Does growing so fast make him feel dizzy?

- I am growing and progressing, learning how to handle many different situations, but I still keep the spirit of enthusiasm as before. I try to manage everything in the best way possible, because this is not easy. But when everything outside the field is convenient, the story in the yard is often smooth. These two aspects are closely related. That is the point I improved the most. In the field, I have improved a lot and realized the importance of taking care of every detail to achieve the perfect state. I think it is my biggest step.

- By the way, recently asked him about US President Donald Trump. How are you conscious of your statements?

- I understand that what I say may be exaggerated many times. If you say something is not necessarily bad, wrong, but not choosing the right words, it can cause trouble. I simply try to be as careful as I can say and how I say. Because sometimes, when you are angry because of losing or having a bad day, restraining words is not easy. I always try to express myself as respect and proper.

- Each person has its own way of life and behavior. Some people like to do everything in their own way, although not always the ideal model, but may still work for them. But there are also people who want to do everything in a better and exemplary way, and I am this group. I like inspiration for young people to have a model.

- Certainly, his tennis style is really worth learning. Toni Nadal once said he could do everything and do everything well. But he is not the one who easily praises anyone. What do you think?

- That's my style, I like to play like that. I was like that since childhood. I believe I can do many things on the pitch, make many different shots, give up small to polish. Moreover, I am more and more satisfied with my physical strength, because it brings a lot of confidence. Just like him, I watch and research a lot of opponents' matches. I like the way he plays, what he does is really great. I do not think that he is easy to guess, just we understand each other more and more because we have confronted quite a lot, a total of 15 times but not less. I know his strengths and try to adjust to deal.

- Sinner also said that now he's turn to act and evolve, that there will be many things to change. How do you predict?

- I don't think "ball " is in his yard, because I must always be ready to be alert to see what he will do differently. That is, I have to take one step ahead, prepare more carefully and continue to improve in many aspects. That is the interesting thing of this confrontation, of the matches between us. We promote each other to the limit, forcing both to be better every day, in each tournament. I think the best version of Carlos hasn't appeared yet. So, this year's goal can be considered to be completed?

- That's right. One of the goals of this season is to try to regain the number one as soon as possible, or at least before this year ends. Therefore, dreams have come true. Moreover, if that goal was completed at the same time you won a Grand Slam, just like the first time I achieved on September 11, 2022, the feeling of nothing was great.
