'But obviously after beating amazing guys, great players, and the level that I played, I consider myself one of the favourites - or one of the players to be able - to win Wimbledon.' 'I have played 11 matches in my career on grass, so I have to get more experience, more hours. 'But it's been an amazing week and it's ending with a lot of energy and on a high. 'I started the tournament not really well, I had to adapt my movement a bit on grass,' he said. It wouldn't be possible without the support of the people through the whole week. 'It helps a lot to be top seed at Wimbledon,' said Alcaraz. He will now be considered the main threat to Djokovic's defence of his Wimbledon crown. There were questions about Alcaraz's ability on grass at the start of the week but he answered those in emphatic style, becoming a crowd favourite with his attacking play, humble attitude and boyish smile. Seeing my name on the trophy surrounded by the great champions is amazing,' he said.Īlcaraz will now hope to emulate his compatriot Rafael Nadal, who triumphed at Queen's in 2008 before going on to win Wimbledon for the first time a few weeks later. The Spaniard, 20 was playing only his third grass-court tournament.
