World No.1 Carlos Alcaraz has revealed that he might retire from tennis at the age of 35. Alcaraz, 22, recently won his maiden Australian Open title and became the youngest player in the history to complete a Career Grand Slam, breaking Don Budge’s record.

Alcaraz is known for his incredible court coverage and he is one of the fittest players on the tour. He has already won seven Major titles in his young glittering career and he is all set to break many records before he calls time on his career.

Speaking in Spanish to El Partidazo de Cope, he said: “Tennis is a very demanding sport, mentally and physically, and even more so nowadays.

“The speed of the ball, the demands on the court have increased, and the schedule doesn’t help.

“So, we try to take care of our bodies as much as possible to get there in the best possible shape, but as a very wise person once told me, I can’t think 15 years ahead, but rather in five, and then in the next five.

The Spaniard said he would continue playing as long as his body remains his friend.

“So we’ll see, but right now I don’t see myself playing at 35, although maybe the moment will come and I’ll keep going with more enthusiasm than ever and be motivated to continue playing until my body allows me to.”

Alcaraz will look to keep going strongly on the tour and he would want to keep ticking the right boxes in his career. The young Spaniard has a never give-up attitude on the court and he is expected to keep making new records.
