Hey there, tennis fans It’s your girl Mia Johnson-Carter here, and I’m super excited to share some juicy news from the ATP Finals. I mean, who doesn’t love talking about tennis, especially when it involves some of the biggest names in the game?
Recently, during the media day of the ATP Finals, four-time Grand Slam champion Carlos Alcaraz shared his thoughts on various topics. One of the main things he talked about was his desire to win the prestigious ATP Finals trophy. This is only his second time playing in Turin, and for him, competing against the best seven players in the world is a dream come true. He mentioned, “I would really like to lift this prestigious trophy one day. It is only the second time I play in Turin and, for me, playing with the best seven players in the world really means a lot. Being here is a goal that I have been chasing since the beginning of the season.”
Alcaraz also had some wonderful words about the Italian crowd. He’s been noticing how much love he receives from Italian fans despite his rivalry with Jannik Sinner. He said, “I honestly don’t know why so many Italian fans continue to love me so much despite my rivalry with Jannik Sinner. But I think it’s because I always try to entertain people when I go on court. Maybe it’s because of my personality or maybe it’s just my tennis, but it’s true that in Italy I feel the passion of the fans. Italians love sports a lot, not just tennis.”
Sinner himself also shared his thoughts during the media day. He talked about how special this tournament is for him and his fellow competitors. “It’s a special tournament for us, we make a lot of sacrifices to be here. And when you get there you have to beat the best in the world already in the groups. I think it will be a great show for the spectators too.” Sinner also mentioned that since Italy won the Davis Cup last year, tennis in Italy has grown significantly. He highlighted that while he and Alcaraz are young and have achieved great results this year, they still have a lot ahead of them.
