Alcaraz, at 20, wants to continue making history this Wednesday at Wimbledon. It is his third ‘Grand Slam’ of the season and the only one on grass. He meets the Dane in a passionate encounter with which he wants to reach his third semifinal of a ‘big’.
At just 20 years old, Alcaraz has become the first youngest seed to advance to the Wimbledon quarterfinals, a new display of character and ambition from a player who still wants more. It did not affect him at all that the Serbian Novak Djokovic virtually displaced him from number one with his previous victory against the Pole Hubert Hurkacz; he had to win and the man from El Palmar did it without succumbing to the pressure. The accounts are now very clear: whoever goes further in the London event will be number one in the world after the tournament.
The young champion, who has accumulated nine consecutive victories on grass and who only a few weeks ago won his first ATP title on that surface at Queen’s, does not seem willing to put the brake on. “I’m hungry for more. Last year I lost in the fourth round and I really wanted to play the quarterfinals here. I came this year with that goal. Now I’m looking for more. My dream is to play a final here and win this title one day “, he confessed.
