Speaking at the trophy presentation ceremony following his win over Alexander Zverev in the final of the 2024 French Open, Carlos Alcaraz stated that winning the title has been an "incredible work."

Alcaraz commended his team for their support in preparing him for the Claycourt Major, especially since he had not competed for three weeks prior to arriving at Roland-Garros due to a right arm injury. This injury had also prevented him from participating in the Italian Open.

"It has been incredible work. The last month we were struggling a lot with the injury. I am really grateful to have the team that I have and the people I have around. I know that everyone in my team is giving their heart just to make me improve as a player and a person. To grow up. So I am really grateful and I call you a team, but it is a family," Alcaraz said.

Carlos Alcaraz also praised Alexander Zverev for his outstanding performance throughout the tournament and in the championship showdown.

"I want to congratulate Sascha [Alexander Zverev] for a great beginning of this year, a great level of tennis, a great tournament. I know you give your heart every day you step on the court. I am pretty sure you will have the opportunities to win slams or this tournament very, very soon," Alcaraz said.
