Meanwhile, Alcaraz won victories after victories and qualified in the US Open final, where he gave anyone other than Sinner.

Carlos Alcaraz: “It is clear to me that I will never be perfect. It's just about getting closer to it.”
Alcaraz is preparing for the last part of the season in which he will try to continue this year's exceptional developments and stay in the first place in the ATP standings.
The truth is that I don't think there is perfection; Maybe you can get close to it, but it doesn't exist. So I will keep my feet on the ground reminding me that there is always a place to be better, that another player, maybe even Jannik can overcome me and can be better than me.
We must continue to go ahead, train and become better day by day and it is clear that I will never be perfect. It's just about getting closer to it. That holds me motivated
