<\/a>Carlos Alcaraz on No 1 ranking: ‘Not gonna think about it’ <\/p>\n

If Carlos Alcaraz plays Jannik Sinner in the US Open final, the men\u2019s No 1 ranking will be on the line as well as the title. <\/p>\n

But Alcaraz admits that thinking about the No 1 spot would be too much pressure to go along with the nerves of a grand slam tournament. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really difficult not to think about it. Every time I step on court I try not to think about it. <\/p>\n

\u201cIf I think about the No 1 spot too much I\u2019m gonna put pressure on myself. I just want to step on the court and try to do my thing. <\/p>\n

\u201cFollow my goals on the match. Try to enjoy as much as I can. The No 1 is there but I\u2019m trying not to think much about it.\u201d<\/p>\n
