After the triumph over Novak Djokovic at Wimbledon, Carlos Alcaraz confirmed his position as the leader of the ATP hierarchy. However, another player from the TOP-10 gave the world leader a warning and set a very clear goal to become the first in the ranking.

Holger Roon believes he can reach more than 6 ATP

This year’s Wimbledon final is a landmark for the current leader of the ATP hierarchy.

Carlos Alcaraz beat Novak Djokovic in the All England Club Grand Final in a showdown worthy of the history books.

Despite this, the Spaniard has received a warning from another ATP Top 10 player who is looking to take his place in the shortest possible time.

Holger Roon, ranked sixth in the world, gave an interview in Toronto this week in which he outlined his career goal.

“I’m happy to be 6th, but not satisfied. And I don’t want to finish 6th. I want to be no. 1, it’s not a secret.

I also try to work 10 times more now than I did at the beginning of the year. Therefore, I hope that everything will work out if I put in a lot of effort and work.” – said Holger Roon.

“From last year to now, I have improved a lot, both mentally and physically. I really took it a lot more seriously, I would say, and I was very determined to push myself every day, every tournament I played.

I really like it. I think what makes rivalries so important to sports is that they make them grow. It increases interest in the sport, and if you only have one great player, of course it’s nice for that good player.

But it’s not as competitive as when you have more. I think what Roger and Rafa and Novak have done and Borg and McEnroe have taken tennis to another level and another dimension, and I hope we can do the same.” he also said.
