World number one Carlos Alcaraz does not see himself as the favorite to win the French Open, saying enjoying the tournament he has not won is his top priority.
After Alcaraz and 22-times grand slam champion Novak Djokovic were drawn in the semi-finals, the 20-year-old said he was keen to lower his expectations.
“I will try to do my best, and that is all I think regarding,” Alcaraz said during a promotional event in which he played with the children before the start of the tournament.
He added, “I am not the favorite, but of course I can say that I am one of the favorites to win. I am not under a lot of pressure, as I said before, I enjoy myself and try not to think regarding pressure.”
He said: I come here to listen, to present my best levels, and of course I will try to achieve a good result, but this is not the only thing I think regarding.
In the absence of Rafael Nadal, the 14-time champion, due to injury, all eyes are on Alcaraz and Djokovic.
Alcaraz, who will play an opponent who rose from the qualifiers in the first round, may face some risky matches on his way to a possible semi-final meeting with world number three Djokovic, as he may meet 2021 runners-up Stefanos Tsitsipas, Lorenzo Musetti and Felix Auger-Aliassime during his career. in the tournament.
