‘It’s all part of the journey of learning’: Tim Henman highlights what Carlos Alcaraz must do to regain lost form

Carlos Alcaraz Addresses His Inconsistent Performances on Tour

Carlos Alcaraz recently opened up about his struggles with consistency following a disappointing Sunshine Double campaign. Despite his undeniable talent and aggressive playing style, the 21-year-old Spaniard has faced challenges in maintaining a solid strategy against opponents.

At the Miami Open, Alcaraz was favored to win with key rivals like Jannik Sinner suspended and Alexander Zverev underperforming. However, he fell in the second round to David Goffin, highlighting his unpredictable form.

In a recent interview, Alcaraz admitted that he often relies on instinct during crucial moments rather than sticking to a game plan.

“At times, I feel like I’m in control, playing well, but then I lower my intensity and end up losing. I’ve realized that playing purely on instinct isn’t always effective—I may need to focus more on strategy.”

As he transitions into the clay-court season, Alcaraz is determined to find consistency. He has been training in his hometown of Murcia in preparation for the Monte Carlo Masters, set to begin on April 6.

Handling Pressure and Future Goals

Despite his ups and downs, Alcaraz remains one of the most exciting young players on tour. When under pressure, he prioritizes staying aggressive and confident.

“I want to be an attacking player, take big shots, and approach the net. Even in tough moments, I remind myself that I’m living the dream I had as a child.”

Off the court, Alcaraz hopes to inspire future generations, just as Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer once inspired him.

“Being a good person and showing kindness is what matters most. I want to set an example for young players, not just with my game but also with my behavior.”

To truly leave a lasting legacy, Alcaraz knows he must overcome his inconsistency and add more titles to his résumé. As he steps onto the clay, all eyes will be on whether he can turn his raw talent into sustained dominance.
