Alcaraz: "I have to try and win anyway".

Carlos Alcaraz is quite a phenomenon. At the age of 21, the Spanish player already has three Grand Slam titles to his name and seems to have an answer for almost everything.

His Wimbledon tournament is a case in point. The title holder in London, Alcaraz didn't always play well. Alternating between excellent sequences and less-than-stellar performances, the current world number 3 showed all his mastery to manage his various matches and is well on his way to the semi-finals.

Hustled by Tiafoe (5-7, 6-2, 4-6, 7-6, 6-2), Humbert (6-3, 6-4, 1-6, 7-5) and even Paul in the quarters (5-7, 6-4, 6-2, 6-2), he came through each time very well, raising his game when necessary.

When asked about this, 'Carlito' prefers to focus on the positive: "I'm trying to find solutions. For me, of course, it's going to be very difficult to play my best tennis in every match. I know there will be matches where I won't be at my best, but I have to try to win anyway.

I think even the big three, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, didn't play their best tennis every time, but they still managed to win those matches. That's what I want to do too.

Sometimes it'll be more difficult, but sometimes, like in this match, even if I don't play brilliantly, I'll find a level that's good enough to win."
