Carlos Alcaraz will not be able to take a break from Wimbledon, as he will barely celebrate and will only have a couple of days off before resuming training on Wednesday with a change of surface, from grass to clay, to prepare for his next challenge: the Olympic Games. The 21-year-old from Murcia will make his debut at the event that will take place in Paris from 27 August to 4 August, with gold as his goal in singles and doubles, alongside Rafa Nadal.
Afterwards, if all goes well, Carlos will begin his North American hard court tour, initially at the Canadian Masters 1000, which this year is being held in Montreal (6-12 August), although the proximity to the Games, just two days apart, may cause some tennis players to give up competing. Alcaraz’s next stop on the circuit would be Cincinnati (12-19 August), before facing the US Open (26 August-8 September) with a desire for revenge.
Makes Cup, Davis and Finals
In this campaign, the world number three defends 180 points in Canada, where he fell in the quarterfinals against the American Tommy Paul, 600 in Cincinnati, for the final he lost against the Serbian Novak Djokovic, and 720 as a semi-finalist in the New York Grand Slam, in which he was beaten by the Russian Daniil Medvedev.

The rest of the year could see Alcaraz move to Valencia, for the group stage of the Davis Cup Finals (10-15 September) and Berlin, to be with Europe and Nadal, among others, at the Laver Cup (20-22 September). Then he would continue on to Beijing (26 September to 2 October), Shanghai (2-13 October) and Paris Bercy (28 October to 3 November), tournaments he played in 2023, before the ATP Finals (10-17 November) and the cross-country competition in Malaga, if Spain qualifies (19-24 November).
