Carlos Alcaraz enters 2024 with huge ambitions, increasing pressure and greater expectations than ever before ahead of the Australian Open.
The Spanish prodigy begins the calendar year ranked No.2 in the world. He trails Novak Djokovic by just over 2,000 points but has zero points dropping due to missing last year’s Australian Open.
Alcaraz knows that if he goes all the way here, he will apply serious pressure to Djokovic, who stands to lose maximum points due to his 2023 triumph.
The draw will keep the pair apart until the final, should they both advance, and Alcaraz will be determined to make the most of his opportunity to close the gap.
Fans across the world will be intrigued to see how Alcaraz starts the fresh season as a known quantity rather than a lower-profile wildcard.
