Carlos Alcaraz is looking to win a third successive title at Wimbledon this year.
Alcaraz is currently on an 18-match winning streak ahead of Wimbledon this year, where he will be the second seed behind Jannik Sinner.
This includes Alcaraz winning Queen’s, Roland Garros and the Italian Open, and he will look to make it four titles in a row at the grass court major.
While many things appear to be positive for Alcaraz at the moment, he has admitted that there is one thing that people really get wrong about tennis players.

When speaking to Hypebeast ahead of Wimbledon this year, Alcaraz was asked many different questions about himself and tennis.
One of those asked to Alcaraz concerned what he thought was the biggest misconception about tennis players.
After giving the question some consideration, Alcaraz revealed that he sometimes hears that people say tennis players are not that kind, something he believes is certainly not the case.
“That they are not kind,” said Alcaraz. “I, I hear a lot of things that, I mean this tennis player is, how can I say? Is bored or is not kind to the people. So I, I’m going to say this is a big, big lie.”
While this is something that he wanted to clarify, Alcaraz is often praised by tennis fans for his behaviour both on and off the court.
Carlos Alcaraz names two sports he would ‘love’ to play if he was not a tennis player
A more light hearted question addressed to Alcaraz concerned another sport he would play if he was not a professional tennis player.
Alcaraz could not pick just one and suggested that football and golf would be his two choices.
The 22-year-old said, “If I had to pick another sport I would love to be a football player or a golf player.”
Alcaraz recently took to the golf course with Andy Murray after his Queen’s victory, but revealed that he actually did not win his round against the recently retired Brit.
The five-time Grand Slam champion will need to quickly divert his attention back to the tennis court, as he opens up Wimbledon’s Centre Court against Fabio Fognini on Monday, June 30.
