"Not being up to their expectations," Alcaraz said. "Although I’ve won a Grand Slam or now I’m No. 1 in the world, probably there will be tournaments in which there are expectations and I can’t meet them. Above all, letting down the people around me. "In terms of everyone else, there are a lot of people who think and have opinions, but I’m talking about those that are close to me," he added. "That’s the thing I’m most scared of."

Honestly I m scared of failure that s probably one of my fears letting a lot of people down - Carlos Alcaraz
By Sudeshna Banerjee Modified 13 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Carlos Alcaraz with the 2022 US Open trophy at Times Square Carlos Alcaraz's journey to his maiden US Open crown and the World No. 1 ranking in the last fortnight was sensational, to say the least. The 19-year-old battled through three grueling five-setters against Marin Cilic, Jannik Sinner and Frances Tiafoe to make his first-ever Grand Slam final. Against Sinner in the quarterfinals, the Spaniard even saved a match point in the fourth set. The final against Casper Ruud on Sunday wasn't easy either. The teenager had to dig deep to erase a couple of set points in the third set before going on to complete the victory in four. The grinding matches and his incredible comebacks gave the impression that the Murcia native is fearless and isn't bogged down even when he is staring at defeat. However, while reflecting on the biggest achievement of his career in a recent interview with ATP, Carlos Alcaraz admitted that he is scared of letting his well-wishers down. "Honestly, I’m scared of failure," Alcaraz said. "That’s probably one of my fears. Letting a lot of people down." Carlos Alcaraz@carlosalcarazI'm lost for words at right now!

Having a mental coach is important as tennis is demanding week after week - Carlos Alcaraz
Carlos Alcaraz celebrates his 2022 US Open title win with his team. During the chat, Carlos Alcaraz also underlined the importance of having a mental coach to cope with the rigors of the tour. He credited his psychologist, Isabel Balaguer, for the rapid improvement he has made over the past couple of seasons. "I’ve been working with a psychologist for two or three seasons, with Isabel Balaguer," he said. "She’s a great professional, one of the main reasons I am able to be No. 1 in the world today. I’ve improved so much thanks to her. "Having a mental coach is important as tennis is demanding week after week and during a whole year you have to be fresh mentally, you have to cope with the pressure, with everyone watching you and it’s important to be able to handle that," he added. "Without a psychologist, I wouldn’t say it’s impossible because nothing is, but it would be far more difficult." Carlos Alcaraz@carlosalcarazGood morning!Getty Images1367455644Good morning!
