Carlos Alcaraz of Spain hits a forehand to Alex de Minaur of Australia during their mens singles final match at the Queens Club tennis tournament in London last Sunday.LONDON — After picking up his first grass-court title on Sunday and reclaiming the top ranking, an increasingly confident Carlos Alcaraz says he sees himself as one of the favorites to win Wimbledon next month.
It was only the third tournament of Alcaraz’s young career on grass after two disappointing performances at Wimbledon.The victory saw the 20-year-old Spaniard move above Novak Djokovic in the rankings and confirmed the U.S. Open champion as a serious challenger to the Serbian’s crown at Wimbledon. Alcaraz lost in the fourth round to Jannik Sinner last year.
“I have to get more experience on grass … But obviously after beating amazing guys, great players, and the level that I played, I consider myself one of the favorites or one of the players to be able to win Wimbledon.”
