Carlos Alcaraz, in an interview given during the Paris Rolex Masters, shared a moving message for the people involved in the dramatic flood that hit the Valencian community and caused over 158 deaths. Spain is also worried - not only for the deaths - for the missing, injured and displaced people caused by the Dana in Valencia. Truly tragic consequences for the population, which is rallying together to overcome the difficulties caused by the great flood, the result of ongoing climate change.

"I will try to help as much as I can. It's a very complicated moment, not only for the affected provinces, but for the entire country. I hope this will end soon. I've seen images and videos, everything that is talked about on social networks, none of this is pleasant for any Spanish citizen. There is still a lot of uncertainty, we need to know how much Dana has affected, know the number of deaths and missing people. It hurts me as if I were from that city," said Carlitos.
Returning to talk about tennis and courts, like Rafael Nadal, Alcaraz inevitably hopes that the French capital will increasingly become his second home: "Paris is a beautiful city, it has the best tournaments in the world, I always like to play here. The crowd is always very affectionate, when I don't play against the French of course. I love their tennis players very much, they love their people very much. Paris will always have a place in my heart."
The young Spaniard also talkedabout the French Open, explaining: "It's the tournament I've been watching since I was little, I was always very excited to participate and to be able to win it one day. The day I won it, all those beautiful moments when I watched it at home, when I saw Rafa win so many times, came back to me. I just wanted to put my name on the winners' list."
