Alcaraz choosing to prioritise steady improvement over top ranking
The HinduWorld number three Carlos Alcaraz said reclaiming the top spot in the rankings is not his top priority over the next few months as the Spaniard looks to avoid any additional pressure in the search for his best form. While Alcaraz cannot leapfrog the top-ranked Jannik Sinner and number two Alexander Zverev by winning the trophy this week, it could leave him primed to make his move during the European claycourt swing, where he will defend his French Open crown. That could make me feel extra pressure,” Alcaraz, who previously held the top spot for 36 weeks, told reporters. Alcaraz will be among the main contenders at tournaments in the coming weeks, with Italian Sinner serving a doping ban until May 4, but the Spaniard said he will take things day by day.
