Carlos Alcaraz Eyes Clay-Court Momentum Ahead of French Open Title Defence

Posted : 06 April 2026

World number one Carlos Alcaraz has expressed his excitement about returning to clay courts as he begins his preparations in Monaco for the upcoming European swing. The Spanish star, widely regarded as one of the best players on the surface, is aiming to regain rhythm and build form ahead of his French Open title defence later this season.

Alcaraz enjoyed an exceptional clay campaign last year, highlighted by his victory at Roland Garros where he defeated Jannik Sinner in a memorable final. His dominance on the surface also included major titles in Monte Carlo and Rome, along with a strong run in Barcelona. These results reinforced his reputation as a leading force on clay and set high expectations for another successful season.

Speaking ahead of his return, the 22-year-old admitted he had missed playing on clay and was eager to rediscover the unique feel of the surface. He described it as one of the most enjoyable periods of the tennis calendar and emphasized how important it is for his game.

Alcaraz is planning a full schedule during the clay season, with appearances expected in Monte Carlo, Barcelona, Madrid and Rome. Despite acknowledging the physical and mental demands of such a stretch, he remains focused on maintaining his fitness and managing his workload carefully to peak at Roland Garros.

Reflecting on last season, Alcaraz noted that his success in Monte Carlo played a crucial role in shaping the rest of his year, helping him refine his approach and confidence on clay. As he begins another campaign, he hopes to replicate that momentum and continue his rise at the top of the sport.
