Carlos Alcaraz will begin his 2023 in Baires
Speaking to Express Sport, former World No.
2 Corretja urged Carlos Alcaraz not to lose sleep over getting back to the top spot. "I don't think he should be obsessed with the number one in the world," Corretja said. "I don't think his goal right now should be to defend that position because otherwise, it would mean something else.
Not only a pressure, but also an additional weight on your shoulders that you don't need so young, at that age." Carlos Alcaraz will begin his 2023 season by playing at the ATP 250 Argentina Open in Buenos Aires for the first time in his career.
