Alcaraz dedicated the achievement, earned in large part to his two major victories at Roland Garros and the US Open, not only to a team led by coach and former ATP world No. 1 Juan Carlos Ferrero, but also the fans who’ve watched him compete around the world.

“We’re traveling since the first of January to the end of November, new places, new countries, new stages,” said Alcaraz. “The people, it’s always the same. There’s great energy, great atmosphere. I feel the love everywhere I’m going. In some tournaments, in some matches, without the support of the people, it wouldn’t be possible to come back, to win, to lift trophies.
“I really want to say thank you to all the people who come to every tournament, to every match, that support tennis and myself. I’m really grateful for everyone, for the energy and the love that I’m receiving. This trophy is for them, because it’s not only for just one person. It’s for my team, for my people, but obviously, for the support I receive everywhere.”
