“I'm betterdeclared the latest Wimbledon winner this Tuesday. There are a few days left before my first match. Today I trained with a little more intensity and everything went pretty well. I had good feelings. I don't want to rush, I don't want to get in trouble saying I'm going to play 100%. If I can play three or four matches without any problems, that would be good.”
With the absence of Novak Djokovic and despite the fact that Jannik Sinner will be the first seed, Carlos Alcaraz will represent the big attraction of the tournament. A status that he will share, of course, with Rafael Nadal.
”It would be special for me to face Rafa in Madrid. Maybe we'll meet in the final… or not. Everything can happen. He remains my idol and if I have to challenge him, the excitement will be there. I'm not putting any pressure on myself before this tournament. But it's true that it gives me a lot of energy to play here in front of my fans, my family, my team, my friends. I need to turn that into positive energy.”
