This is one of the reasons why the former world number 1 still has several ups and downs during the year, which resulted in the gap of almost 5000 points of the current ATP ranking leader Jannik Sinner. The 4-time Grand Slam champion knows he has to improve in this respect and will work hard in the pre-season to be able to achieve even better results in 2025.
The 21-year-old from Murcia will play two exhibition matches in the United States this week (against Ben Shelton in New York and against Frances Tiafoe in Charlotte), before starting training for next season.
His first official tournament in 2025 will be the Australian Open, but Carlitos will play some exhibition matches with other top players at Melbourne Park in the days leading up to the start of the Happy Slam.
