WATCH: 12-year-old Carlos Alcaraz revealing his dream to win French Open and Wimbledon one day resurfaces after Spaniard's 2024 triumph

An old video of Carlos Alcaraz revealing his dream to win the French Open and Wimbledon has resurfaced after the Spaniard lifted the 2024 French Open title. He defeated Alexander Zverev 6-3, 2-6, 5-7, 6-1, 6-2 to win his third Major title.

As he won the claycourt Slam, a video of Alcaraz from when he was 12 years old, has been doing the rounds on social media. In the video, the Spaniard said that it was his dream to win the French Open and Wimbledon.

"What is your dream if you become a pro?"

"To win Roland-Garros and Wimbledon," Alcaraz answered.

Watch the video below:

The Spaniard fulfilled his first wish at Wimbledon 2023 when he defeated Novak Djokovic in the final after nearly five hours of battle on the Centre Court. The much younger Alcaraz showed exemplary mental strength to dethrone the seven-time tournament champion. He later repeated his feat in 2024, defeating Djokovic once again in the summit clash.

Now, he has fulfilled his other wish. He defeated Alexander Zverev to win Roland-Garros. The match swung from one side to the other. Alcaraz drew first blood as he won the first set after both the opponents traded a couple of breaks.

The German responded by winning two consecutive sets. In the third set, he won five games in a row to win the set and go ahead in the match. Alcaraz rose to the occasion and won the next set 6-1. The Spaniard fought tooth and nail in the fifth set to win the title and fulfil his childhood dream.
