The Spaniard lost in his only previous fight with the Russian at Wimbledon 2021. This is a very special match for Carlos Alcaraz as becoming the California champion will move him up to world number one. To do this, he will have to play his best tennis and make “everything perfect”.
“I don’t think I’m the favorite in every game. I don’t think about it, I have to win every game. I know that if I win I will be number 1. But I try not to think about it,” Alcaraz told a press conference when asked about the possibility of returning to the top of the rankings in place of Novak Djokovic. .
Carlitos understands that the main thing is to know how to play with Daniil Medvedev. “I would say it will be a really tactical game against Daniil. It will be very difficult. I have to do, shall we say, perfect. That’s all I’m going to think about.”
