Carlos Alcaraz speaking after winning his second Wimbledon title: “Honestly, it is a dream for me winning this trophy. I did an interview when I was 11 and I said my dream is to win Wimbledon. I want it to keep going. It is a great feeling to play on this beautiful court and lift this amazing trophy. It is the most beautiful court and trophy.”
Resetting after match points: “It was 40-0 but I was seeing so far away. Djokovic is an unbelievable fighter and I knew he would have his chances again and i tried to win the point with the serve, I couldn’t. It was difficult for me. I tried to stay calm and positive.
“In the tie-break, I tried to play my best tennis. I was glad I could find the solutions. I’m really happy to be in this situation and playing a great tie-break.”
On being sixth man in open era to win the double: “Fighting, believing. I don’t know. it is a huge honour for me to be a part of those players. I’m really happy to be at the same table as Novak to do it. Huge champions. I don’t consider myself a champion yet. Not like them. I try to keep going and building my path, my journey.”
On Euro 2024 final: “I will watch it with my team for sure. I don’t know where but I’ll watch it for sure. I’ve already done my job so let’s see for the football. It’s going to be a really difficult match. I’ll watch it.”
