The Spanish Carlos Alcaraz has seen a surge in tennis career over the last 12 months, but with the help of physics trainer Alberto Red, there are no signs of an outage.
The 18-year-old is currently ranked 19th in the world, but last year it was 132nd. This rise was due to his performance, including winning the Rio Open last month, in the third round. He was the winner of the Australian Open, won the ATP Next Generation Finals last year and has now reached 16 rounds at the Indian Wells Masters, and he was still able to make further progress in the tournament.
Alcaraz admits that sessions at the gym helped him achieve these praises, but Red revealed how to tailor his exercise to his game.

“Carlos is a very good athlete. He is not only a good tennis player, but also a very good athlete,” the trainer told Puntdebreak.
“He never told me,’Why? Why do I have to do this job?” He never said no to anything, and it’s for the process and the job. It’s very important.
“For example, in the French Open 5 sets, we were looking for resistance because we could spend 4-5 hours on the court. Therefore, we need metabolic resistance to withstand these loads. We need to be strong and fast. But at the same time it is strong in time. “
And it’s not just his exercise and fitness that the US Open quarterfinals are considering to improve the game, but also the diet he takes very seriously.
“Carlos’ diet is based on real food. He doesn’t eat processed foods, etc. Even the supplements he takes are based on real food. A real high-performance athlete like him works. Glycogen is needed to get energy. Some of the carbohydrates and fats.
“Of course, he also needs protein, which is a source of muscle mass. Now, thanks to diet, rest and work habits, he has developed a proper tennis player’s body and is already his ideal. You have reached your body. “
Alcaraz will then face France’s Gael Monfils in the fourth round of tomorrow’s BNP Paris Masters.
