In an amazing revelation after the recent defeat of Carlos Alcaraz in the final, his coach Juan Carlos Ferrero has shed light on the emotional and mental pressures that the Spanish young people may have cost the championship.
According to Ferrero, Alcaraz not only endured the weight of national expectations, but also a deep personal commitment that he had assumed before the party. “Carlos endured a huge pressure from his country, but more than that, he had made a promise to his fans: donate 70 % of the charity prize if he won,” Ferrero explained.
The promise, although admirable, became a heavy load for the 21 -year -old during the high -risk match. “I wanted to return something. That was always his intention. But the emotional weight of that promise may have affected his ability to maintain concentration,” said the coach.
Alcaraz, known for his humility and maturity both on and off the court, was visibly affected after the defeat. However, in a gesture that has moved fans around the world, Ferrero confirmed that the tennis star still plans to donate a substantial part of their profits.
We hope that people understand that in sport, as in life, there are moments of victory and moments of defeat. Carlos still thinks of donating 1.5 million euros to support those in need,Ferrero declared.
This act of generosity has been praised by both fans and their companions athletes, many of whom have resorted to social networks to express their admiration for the compassion and integrity of Alcaraz.
Although this time he could not lift the trophy, Carlos Alcaraz has demonstrated once again that true greatness extends far beyond the tennis court.
