King Carlos did it!

At the end of a final where Novak Djokovic had started at full throttle, it wasCarlos Alcaraz who claimed his 7th (already!) Grand Slam title, becoming theyoungest player to complete the Career Grand Slam at 22 years old.

In this episode, I break down for you:

• How to put your opponent under pressure right from the start of the match (Djokovic’s first set)
  
  
  
• How to take inspiration from Alcaraz to turn a match around after losing the first set: accepting that the storm will pass and believing the match can swing back your way at one set all
  
  
  
• The one thing you can improve starting today to strengthen your mental game and make your opponent crack: the 4P rule — physical conditioning + constant improvement of your game. Fed + Nadal
  
  
  
• How Djokovic and Alcaraz manage to detach from the result and play their best tennis in high-pressure moments
