Since then, the 22-year-old has not lost a match. Alcaraz stormed into the Cincinnati Open finals last month, where he faced Sinner again. But the Italian retired just 23 minutes into the championship match<\/a> with a viral illness, and Alcaraz was crowned the champion.<\/p>\n

Now, Alcaraz has made it to the semi-finals of a Major tournament without dropping a set for the first time in his career. And his coach, former world No. 1 Juan Carlos Ferrero, shed light on the post-Wimbledon<\/a> meeting that changed his perspective.<\/p>\n

\u201cInternal conversations are often important,\u201d Ferrero told the ATP<\/a> ahead of Alcaraz\u2019s semi-final showdown with Novak Djokovic<\/a> in New York.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn that conversation, we talked a little about what the Wimbledon<\/a> final was like, his feelings, the things we saw, the things that clearly needed to be improved, how to approach the American tour\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cSituations that are experienced within the team. I think it was a very interesting, very positive conversation, in which he had a very clear idea of what he was thinking, as did we, and it has helped him stay highly motivated for the rest of the year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alcaraz has already well outperformed his 2024 record in the North American swing. Last year, the Spaniard suffered a heartbreaking defeat to Djokovic in the Olympic gold medal match<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He then lost in the opening round of the Cincinnati Open, destroying his racket in a rare outburst<\/a>. Then, Alcaraz was sent packing in the second round of the US Open.<\/p>\n

This year, the five-time Major winner came to the US in a much better headspace, and Ferrero believes this is largely down to Alcaraz\u2019s decision to take breaks in between tournaments.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old jetted to Ibiza<\/a> after winning the French Open<\/a>, and then went on another holiday to El Puerto de Santa Maria after Wimbledon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis tour is very different from last year; he’s come back much fresher,\u201d Ferrero explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat rest and vacation have been very beneficial for him after a rather stressful month and a half between Roland Garros and Wimbledon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s a necessary vacation, helping him reset his mind, be with his fans, and maintain a high mental level to continue competing at the highest level.\u201d<\/p>\n
