According to Sportstar, he told reporters that his trophy drought did not bother him much after his triumph. However, he was concerned about his injuries and wasn’t enjoying being on the tennis court.
He said, “It’s difficult to put it into words, because I had really difficult months. Let’s say the last two months it was difficult for me to find myself. I didn’t enjoy stepping on the court. I wasn’t myself on the court the last two months, three months, so it was difficult for me.”
He further stated, “It means a lot to me, lifting this trophy because I overcome a lot of problems in my head, a lot of problems physically. It was so special for that. That’s why I’m really, really happy to lift this trophy, because I found myself at this tournament, and I felt really, really good.”
According to the official website of the ATP Tour, Carlos’s favorite football team is Real Madrid. He is also a fan of American actor Will Smith.
