The 21-year-old secure༺d his third major title this month after overcoming Alexander Zverev in a fi💛ve-set final thriller at Roland-Garros.
Alcaraz is the youngest player in th💎e Open Era to win the singles&nbs🔥p;title at three different grand slams, with the Australian Open the only one missing from the set.
The world number two has one thing on his mind, however, as Alcaraz turns his focus to the grass-court challeng𓄧e awaitin📖g at Queen's, and subsequently the next major Wimbledon.
"We have to be focused on the tournament that we are playing right now," Alcaraz said. "Rolandꦅ-Garros was a fantastic two weeks for me, a dream come true lifting the trop🎐hy.
"But right now my mind has to be here on ♊the grass to be ready. As soon as I can꧂ to play good tennis and to get ready for Wimbledon.
"Ri🔯ght now my focus is on the grass and then after that, my mind will be on clay again to be at my best for the Olympics."
Just a year ago, Alcaraz headed to Queen's withꦐ only four ATP wins on grass.
A year later, t𒊎he big-hitting youngster is getting ready to defend his title inℱ the Wimbledon warm-up tournament before attempting to go back-to-back at the next major.
"I have more matches 🐬in my bank on grass and now wit♈h the great run I had last year at Queen's and Wimbledon, I know a little bit on how to play and understand the game a little bit on grass," he added.
"I am more mature playing on this surface. The first practice I have done here, my movement wasn't as good as last year but it is a slow process, so I have to be really focused in every practౠice and every match."
Alcaraz took the fewest main draw appearances of any player in the Open Era to win titles on grass,ꦡ clay and hard co𝓡urts.
He celebrated that French Open glory with a tattoo of Paris' E🦂iffel Tower on his left ankle, before jetting off for further toasts to his success.
Asked on his plans after Paris, Alcaraz said: "I had a few days off. I went to Ibiza with 🍃a group of friends. I had fun. It was a great time celebrating Roland Garros and I just had fun.
"For me as a player, I need this kind of thing. Every player is different but for me to reach my best tennis I hav𝄹e to separate the professional part from the personal part.
"I have some days off to forget a litꦍtle bit that I am a professional player. Beingﷺ with my friends and family means I can rest a little bit."
