Carlos Alcaraz believes that overcoming his fear factor has given him the confidence to pursue a landmark third Wimbledon title in a row.

On Monday, Alcaraz will face Fabio Fognini in a match on Center Court.

The 22-year-old Spaniard wants to become the fifth player to win at least three Open titles in a row, joining Pete Sampras, Roger Federer, and Novak Djokovic.

Alcaraz will make his Wimbledon debut with an 18-game winning streak against Djokovic, who has previously defeated Djokovic in the All England Club final two times.

The world number two is aware of the historical significance of his title bid over the upcoming two years, but he doesn’t want to be swayed by talk of Wimbledon immortality.

I’m arriving here believing that I’m in the best position to win the title. Alcaraz told reporters at the All England Club on Saturday, “I really want to lift the trophy, not thinking about how many players have won three Wimbledons in a row.”

I’m just contemplating, “Okay, I just want to be ready and just want to prepare myself the best.”

I’m obviously feeling very confident right now. But I’m just considering how to move forward and begin the tournament.

In a Grand Slam, two weeks can be very long. If I win three Wimbledons straight, I’m not thinking about who I might be a part of. ”

Alcaraz won the grass-court competition at Queen’s Club for the second time to prepare for Wimbledon.

Following his sensational run in the clay-court competition, that victory demonstrated that the five-time Grand Slam champion had returned to grass.

‘My best level.

Alcaraz won the French Open championship match against his Italian rival Alcaraz for the fifth time in a row after coming back from two sets down and saving three match-points against Jannik Sinner in a thrilling match.

Prior to his triumph at Roland Garros, he had already won clay competitions in Rome and Monte Carlo.

Alcaraz lost to Holger Rune in the Barcelona final in April, and he thinks the key to his blistering run is to play fearlessly.

“Yes, probably. When I’m just playing or just enjoying myself, without any other considerations, He said, “I have the freedom to play whatever I want.”

When that occurs, I always play tennis at my best and play at my best level. So far, I think I feel the most libertarian feeling, let’s say, because I’ve probably already played that game. ”

Alcaraz, who spent this week playing golf with former champion Andy Murray and dining in central London, is at his best when he is calm mentally.

It’s important to me to feel fantastic both off and on the court, according to me. I won’t play well if I’m feeling bad, bored, or like I don’t want to be there off the court, he said.

As the defending champion, it feels great to be back in Wimbledon. Thinking back on the events of the previous year is really beautiful.

“Just really excited to officially launch the tournament. See how I proceed. ”
