Carlos Alcaraz spoke at a press conference after his victory at the 2025 ATP Masters Montecarlo about Rafa Nadal’s legacy in the Monegasque tournament and on the surface: “I hope to win the title here more than once. Thinking about 11 is impossible, honestly.
I have talked several times with my team about what Rafa achieved on clay courts. It is one of the most difficult things in sports in general, not only in tennis.
Winning the same tournament 11 times, 14 Roland Garros, the best tournaments in the world, it is impossible to repeat. We will see how many I can achieve. If I stick with just one, I will be happy.
I turn 21 in a short time, so I hope to play this tournament for another 10 or 15 years, we’ll see if I can add a few more. Right now, I just want to enjoy this moment”.
