Spanish tennis star Carlos Alcaraz is considered one of the biggest names in tennis right now. The former World No. 1 has won four Grand Slam titles and is already part of the all-time greats discussion, despite being only 21 years old.

<p style="margin-top: 0px;" >In a recent interview, Alcaraz emphasized the importance of activities outside of tennis. The Spaniard is a sports fanatic in general, as seen last year <a href="https://m.dailyhunt.in/news/india/english/first+sportz-epaper-frstsptz/watch+carlos+alcaraz+plays+a+simulated+golf+match+with+andy+roddick+at+the+charlotte+invitational-newsid-n642344411" style="text-decoration:none; color:#036C8F;">when he played golf with former World No. 1 Andy Roddick</a> in the United States. He enjoys having hobbies that help him disconnect from tennis for a short while.</p><p>For me, it&apos;s great to have things to do outside of tennis, to take your mind off things, to forget about tennis. Sometimes the pressure is there, and for me, playing golf or doing other things helps me a lot to forget about the tournament a little bit. For me, that&apos;s really important, and then to show good tennis on the court. That&apos;s why this tournament is one of my favorites, because I can play golf there (smiles). With my team, with my family, I&apos;m lucky to be able to take a lot of people, a lot of family with me to the tournaments. That helps me feel at home a lot. So for me, it&apos;s great to have those things at a tournament.</p>Carlos Alcaraz said in his press conference<p>Alcaraz recently won the Rotterdam Open, which was the first indoor title of his career. As a result, the 21-year-old put his disappointing Australian Open campaign behind him, where he lost to <strong>Novak Djokovic</strong> in the quarterfinals.</p><nh-chunk-delimit />

He played incredibly well, winning the title without losing a single set, despite the windy conditions.</p><p>His most impressive win came in the final against <strong>Daniil Medvedev</strong>. Alcaraz won 6-3, 6-2, ending Medvedev&apos;s 19-match winning streak. After winning the Miami Open the year before, Alcaraz became the youngest player to achieve the &apos;Sunshine Double,&apos; winning both Indian Wells and Miami.</p><p>Now 21, Alcaraz is back at Indian Wells in 2025 as the two-time defending champion. Another win would make him a three-time champion, just like <strong>Rafael Nadal</strong>. Alcaraz enters the tournament with an 11-2 record for the season, hoping to bounce back from his quarter-final losses to Jiri Lehecka in Doha and Djokovic at the Australian Open. Fans are excited to see if he will face Djokovic again at Indian Wells.</p><span><p><div id="7JR7h0tN3K4"><div id="div_7JR7h0tN3K4"></div><script>if(ytOnLoadFn.indexOf("yt7JR7h0tN3K4") == -1){ var p; function yt7JR7h0tN3K4(){p = new YT.Player("div_7JR7h0tN3K4", {height: document.getElementById("div_7JR7h0tN3K4").offsetWidth * (9/16),width: document.getElementById("div_7JR7h0tN3K4").offsetWidth,videoId: "7JR7h0tN3K4",events: {'onReady': onPlayerReady}, playerVars:{'playsinline': 1,'modestbranding':1,'0':0,'autoplay':1,'loop':1}});onYTEmbedLoad(p)}ytOnLoadFn.push("yt7JR7h0tN3K4");function onPlayerReady(event) {if(typeof NHCommand != 'undefined' && NHCommand.isAutoPlayAllowed && NHCommand.isAutoPlayAllowed() && !window.ytVideoAutoPlayed){ event.target.playVideo(); window.ytVideoAutoPlayed = true; }}}</script></div><script>if(NHCommand && NHCommand.getMainVideoId){document.getElementById(NHCommand.getMainVideoId()).style.display="none";}</script></p></span><span>Carlos Alcaraz said in his press conference</span><span></span><p style="font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 2px;" > Fahad Hamid</p><p>(736 Articles Published)</p><p>Fahad Hamid is a Tennis writer at FirstSportz with more than four years of experience in the sports industry and the IT industry.
