Alcaraz on the world number 1 spot: "I try not to think about it"
Carlos Alcaraz is getting closer to the world number 1 spot. If he wins this Thursday against Lorenzo Musetti, the Spaniard will reclaim his place at the top of world tennis.
Asked about this after his victory against Taylor Fritz, he replied: "To be honest, I try not to think about it. Obviously, it will be a very important match for me. I will try not to let the stress take over during this match.
I will try to control my emotions, to control myself. I will focus on my goals for the match. I will try to feel much better than today in terms of shots, serve, everything.
Obviously, it will be a big day. For now, I will enjoy this victory and try to rest as much as possible to be ready for the match."
