The grinding matches and his incredible comebacks gave the impression that the Murcia native is fearless and isn't bogged down even when he is staring at defeat. However, while reflecting on the biggest achievement of his career in a recent interview with ATP, Carlos Alcaraz admitted that he is scared of letting his well-wishers down. "Honestly, I’m scared of failure," Alcaraz said.

"Not being up to their expectations," Alcaraz said. "Although I’ve won a Grand Slam or now I’m No. 1 in the world, probably there will be tournaments in which there are expectations and I can’t meet them.

I’ve improved so much thanks to her. "Having a mental coach is important as tennis is demanding week after week and during a whole year you have to be fresh mentally, you have to cope with the pressure, with everyone watching you and it’s important to be able to handle that," he added.
