– First of all, I would like to congratulate Sasha (Zverev) on a good start to the year and an excellent level of tennis. You showed an incredible level, you gave everything every day. I know what you’ve been through and being in the final of Roland Garros is an incredible achievement. I think we can still win a Grand Slam.
My team did an incredible job. It was difficult for us, we spent a lot of time on the pitch. I’m happy to see these people there. I know that everyone gives their heart to achieve their goals. I am very grateful to everyone. I call you a team, but in reality you are my family.
I missed my parents here, but I know you have my back from home. All the support you have given me since I was a child has been incredible. As a child, after school, I would run home, turn on the television and watch this tournament. Now I raise the Roland Garros trophy in front of you all.
From the first match to the final, it was a great adventure. Thank you to the supporters and spectators not only during matches, but also during training. I felt at home. You made this tournament special, thank you very much,” Alcaraz said in an on-court interview.
This is the third Grand Slam trophy won by Alcaraz, after winning the US Open and Wimbledon. The Spaniard became the youngest player to win Grand Slam titles on all three surfaces.
