He had to play yes or yes.

And he gave it.

Despite the fact that his coach,

And how does it take for an 18-year-old to become a sports star overnight?

"I get along quite well. I tell everyone that I don't consider myself famous. When they recognize me, I take it naturally."

He hasn't lost his adolescence either.

Academy and, obviously, he has lost the party nights that are so linked to his age, but nothing more.

"I haven't lost anything. Obviously I've lost partying, but nothing else (...) Yes, of course I've gotten drunk at some point."

And he doesn't lie, after winning the

Friends who, by the way, hesitate because of his fame: "When they go out and have one more drink, they are usually funnier than they should be."

Carlos Alcaraz

calls himself

, because I call myself

, do magic and try to finish with a bang."

"Make magic and try to finish in a big way..." And the set of

collapsed.

It is not for less.

It is that either you have that mentality or it is impossible to do what

did in the Godó Tournament.

He played a semi-final over three hours in the morning, rested for two hours and won the final.

And that nobody, apart from his team, knew what really happened to him that day.

According to what he said last night, he got up with "the left foot".

"

. It wasn't much, but I hurt my soleus. I was overwhelmed by whether I could play or not, but with the adrenaline of the game it's over," revealed the tennis player.

And during the two hours of rest?

"In that two short hours I slept a half hour nap (I sleep anywhere), I ate, I did 20 minutes of cycling after the game and I played the final".

Because like any 18-year-old boy, even though he doesn't have a time to arrive home, he does have control over his parents.

"I don't have time as such, but they always tell me 'don't be late' (...) As much as I try not to make noise when I get home, they always wake up and catch me."
