Carlos Alcaraz has added the Middle East to the tennis regions he has conquered and afterwards he used a unique animl to explain why he is able to win on so many different surfaces.<\/p>\n
The world No 1 collected the 26th trophy of his career when he won the Qatar Open with an emphatic 52-minute victory<\/a> over Arthur Fils in the final with the title his first in the Middle East.<\/p>\n Before this year\u2019s tournament, Alcaraz<\/a> had played in the region only once before and that was last year when he lost in the quarter-final against Jiri Lehecka in Doha.<\/p>\n But he has now ticked the region off his to-do list and, besides the Middle East, the seven-time Grand Slam winner has also won titles in Europe, North America, South America and Asia with all those continents offering different challenges in terms of weather conditions, surfaces and court speeds.<\/p>\n When asked why he is able to adapt, the Spaniard replied: \u201cWhat that means is that I am a chameleon, and that is the key to being a great tennis player or athlete.<\/p>\n \u201cYou can\u2019t get stuck playing well in one place, especially in the world of tennis because you\u2019re travelling all the time, moving around, experiencing totally different places where the situations are also different.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m happy to see that I can adapt to any situation and play well. If I miss a tournament because of that, I\u2019ll go.\u201d<\/p>\n Carlos Alcaraz and Juan Carlos Ferrero split compared to Rafael Nadal\u2019s split with \u2018Uncle Toni\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Carlos Alcaraz\u2019s coach praised by Spanish former top-10 star he used to work with<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The Qatar Open was Alcaraz\u2019s second title of the year as he is now unbeaten in 12 matches in 2026 following his title run at the Australian Open<\/a>.<\/p>\n The 23-year-old will look to continue his winning streak at his next event, the Indian Wells Open, but before that he will take a break before heading to the United States for the Sunshine Double.<\/p>\n \u201cWinning gives you a lot of confidence, but having those little breaks between tournaments is what really helps me,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n \u201cGoing back home for a week now, even if it\u2019s just training or having some days off\u2026 I don\u2019t know exactly what I\u2019m going to do, but being home is what calms me down, what relaxes me, what makes me appreciate everything a little after each tournament, and especially each title.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat\u2019s coming up are special events for me, and we\u2019ll see how they go. For now, let\u2019s enjoy the Doha Falcon, which is beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n Although he is not sure what\u2019s to come in terms of his off days, his plans for Indian Wells are taking shape and it will involve golf.<\/p>\n \u201cIn the locker room in Australia, we talked with several players about playing there,\u201d he said. \u201cI don\u2019t know if I\u2019ll train more for golf than tennis, but we\u2019re definitely going to put in a lot of hours on the course.\u201d<\/p>\n The post Carlos Alcaraz uses unique word to describe himself as he confirms upcoming schedule<\/a> appeared first on Tennis365<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Carlos Alcaraz has added the Middle East to the tennis regions he has conquered and afterwards he used a unique animl to explain why he is able to win on so many different surfaces.
