Why Carlos Alcaraz will have a great extra help at Olympic final vs Novak Djokovic: The details
The Spanish champion will be joined in the final by a very important person, who will be in his box
Carlos Alcaraz will challenge Novak Djokovic tomorrow in the men’s singles final at the Paris Olympics, in a truly important match, which for both would mean writing history. By winning, Nole would complete the much-dreamed-of Career Golden Slam and the long-awaited gold medal. By winning, Alcaraz would achieve a historic hat-trick, conquering Roland Garros, Wimbledon and an Olympic gold medal in a row.
The 21-year-old Spanish champion is experiencing an extraordinary phase of his career and after the great victories at Bois de Boulogne and in Church Roard he is also very close to Olympic triumph. The tennis player is already in the medal zone thanks to the victory over the Canadian Felix Auger Aliassime, literally annihilated in the semifinal with Carlos who left only two games to his opponent. A sumptuous performance. Alcaraz started as a favorite but no one expected such a performance and now he will surely start as a favorite in the final.
Precisely for tomorrow’s final, his coach Juan Carlos Ferrero, who was absent in recent days, should also be in the Spaniard’s box. In the Olympic tournament, Carlitos was accompanied by David Ferrer and Samuel Lopez. According to MARCA, Ferrero will reunite with Alcaraz precisely for the Olympic final against Djokovic.
In the usual post-match press conference, Alcaraz expressed his feelings and clarified first of all what his ambitions are for the final.
“To the Spaniards who follow me I say only one thing, in the final I will put on a show and give all of Spain what they want, that is, the gold medal. I played a pretty complete match, at a very high level and with maximum concentration. It must also be said that yesterday he played a very tough match, between singles and doubles, he finished late and I think he was tired. However, I had very positive feelings and I am happy to play my first Olympic final.
Pressure? I will try to play as always, it is a final and it is a very important moment for me and all of the Spaniards. From the beginning my goal was not just any medal but the gold, I will try to enjoy this final, it will be a very beautiful moment not only for me but for many people, from my family to all those who support me,” he explained.
