An extraordinary achievement like \u00a0Carlos Alcaraz’s\u00a0 remarkable comeback against \u00a0Jannik Sinner\u00a0 in the recent Roland Garros final would typically warrant the young tennis star a well-deserved break\u2014perhaps even a month, or two. However, that couldn\u2019t be further from reality. While Alcaraz is indeed enjoying a brief respite, soaking in the vibrant nightlife of \u00a0Ibiza\u00a0, a mere five days after lifting his fifth Grand Slam title, he is already preparing to return to professional commitments. The calendar allows for little celebration; the demands of the sport are relentless.<\/p>\n

Before the weekend, Alcaraz will be settling back into \u00a0London\u00a0, and by early next week\u2014potentially as soon as Tuesday or Wednesday\u2014he will make his debut at the \u00a0ATP 500 Queen’s\u00a0 tournament. The pressure will be on him, but expectations might not be as high as they usually are. Just two years ago, he captured the title and rode his momentum to his first \u00a0Wimbledon\u00a0 championship. However, last year, he fell in the second round to \u00a0Jack Draper\u00a0, even as he later triumphed with his second title at Wimbledon. What awaits him this time? This tournament often seems the most unpredictable for Alcaraz; the transition from the reserved \u00a0Ushuaia Club\u00a0 to the grass courts of west London is never straightforward.<\/p>\n

The Party in Ibiza<\/h2>\n

\u201cHe is disconnecting now. I told him to enjoy himself, as he deserves it, but also to remember that he is a tennis player,\u201d said \u00a0Juan Carlos Ferrero\u00a0, Alcaraz’s coach. This isn’t the first time Ferrero has voiced his thoughts on Alcaraz’s frequent Ibiza escapades. \u201cThese days, he will be well and return fresh and ready. The key is not just partying but disconnecting from tennis and spending time with friends\u2014just like any 22-year-old would. He will return eager to work,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

As depicted in the \u00a0Netflix\u00a0 documentary *A Mi Manera*, during his first trip to Ibiza in 2023, after losing in the semifinals of Roland Garros to \u00a0Novak Djokovic\u00a0, there were mixed opinions within his team regarding the getaway. Following his historic victory over Sinner and his recent successes at Wimbledon, though, it’s hard to dispute the value of these mini-vacations for Alcaraz. \u201cFor me, Ibiza\u2014I’m not going to lie\u2014is about partying and going out. I basically go there to let loose; I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s right to say it this way, but yeah, I go out. When I have something like that, I make the most of it,\u201d Alcaraz expressed candidly in the documentary. Let him enjoy it.<\/p>\n

Life in London<\/h2>\n

Once in London, Alcaraz will return to his training routine, interspersed with leisure time at the \u00a0Royal Wimbledon Golf Club\u00a0. Interestingly, his days in London tend to be more relaxed compared to his time in Paris. While he lodges at the centrally located \u00a0Villa Marquis\u00a0 in Paris, just steps from the \u00a0Alma Bridge\u00a0, enjoying exquisite meals at upscale restaurants like \u00a0Siena\u00a0\u2014where he celebrated his title with Italian cuisine and \u00a0Laurent-Perrier\u00a0 champagne\u2014his London accommodation is rather different. He typically rents a house near the \u00a0All England Club\u00a0 for a month, devoid of nightlife distractions\u2014being an hour’s drive from the city center\u2014where he focuses on honing his golf handicap.<\/p>\n

This year, his residence will serve not only his team but also his family, prompting a significant change. In 2023 and 2024, he rented a modest two-story house with a garden and a basketball hoop, but for \u00a02025\u00a0, he plans to upgrade to a more spacious dwelling. Prices in the area during the Wimbledon weeks range from \u00a0\u20ac1,800\u00a0 to \u00a0\u20ac17,500\u00a0 per week, as reported by \u00a0Tennis London\u00a0\u2014but as a two-time champion, Alcaraz certainly deserves more room to breathe.<\/p>\n

End of Season Goals<\/h2>\n

His ultimate goal this season is to lift his third consecutive Wimbledon title\u2014a feat that would further cement his legacy. Only two players have won the \u00a0Channel Slam\u00a0 (the combination of Roland Garros and Wimbledon) multiple times, and only one has achieved it twice in succession. \u00a0Rafa Nadal\u00a0 accomplished this feat in 2008 and 2010, while \u00a0Bjorn Borg\u00a0 did so in 1978, 1979, and 1980. However, Borg retired shortly thereafter at the young age of 26, a path Alcaraz is keen to avoid. Thus, the importance of his leisure time and perhaps a better-structured agenda cannot be overstated.<\/p>\n

Following the summer, Alcaraz often faces his toughest months, and his team is already strategizing to prevent that from happening again. His frustrations during the last American hard-court swing\u2014including a broken racket at the \u00a0Cincinnati Masters\u00a0 and an early exit at the \u00a0US Open\u00a0\u2014serve as stark reminders. Regardless of what unfolds at Wimbledon this time, Alcaraz is poised for more opportunities for rest and disconnection\u2014especially with the absence of the \u00a0Olympic Games\u00a0. With this approach, he may set his sights on one of the most challenging challenges ahead: reclaiming the world number one ranking before the season wraps up.<\/p>\n
