Carlos Alcaraz, world number 1 and tennis player who has a special system that keeps him at the top, shows how important details can be in the life of a professional athlete. To become a tennis star, you need to change a lot in your life, and even small details can decide whether you will be one step ahead of others.
In a video for ElPozo Alimentación, the Spanish food company that hired him as a brand ambassador in 2022, the 22-year-old answered a question about whether he always travels first class.
Alcaraz drew a parallel between long and short journeys.
For longer trips, he always chooses business class, while for shorter trips he is comfortable in economy class.
Alcaraz stresses that business class makes traveling easier for him, allows him to rest and sleep, and this can be crucial in some tournaments.
"It depends. On long journeys yes, in business. There is first class and then business class. When I have to travel overseas, or on quite long trips, I always travel in business class. Yes (it's more comfortable), because I have to sleep and rest. If I don't, it affects me later, then I am tired and it is complicated to recover. On trips that last three or four hours, it's not a problem."- he said, as quoted by Sportskeeda.
Six Kings Slam
While fans were worried about his health, Carlos Alcaraz recovered from the injury he suffered at the Japan Open, where he ultimately celebrated. Although he skipped one of the tournaments, the Spaniard is motivated to return to the court and will perform at the Six Kings Slam.
Alcaraz will have a slightly easier path, because in the semifinals he will wait for the winner of the duel between Alexander Zverev and Taylor Fritz. There is no doubt that big things are expected of him in this tournament, and we will see if he will be able to lift the trophy in the end.
