Alcaraz has criticised the lack of privacy for players at tournaments as he called for \u201cspaces where we can be alone without being filmed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The world No 1 was speaking at the 2026 Monte Carlo Masters, where he is the reigning champion having won the prestigious clay-court event for the first time last year.<\/p>\n<p>Coco Gauff raised the topic of player privacy in January after Australian Open cameras showed her breaking a racket in a corridor after her quarter-final loss to Elina Svitolina.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI tried to go somewhere where they wouldn\u2019t broadcast it, but obviously they did,\u201d said the American star.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo maybe some conversations can be had because I feel like at this tournament the only private place we have is the locker room.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In his pre-tournament press conference in Monte Carlo, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/carlos-alcaraz\">Alcaraz<\/a> was asked about the increasing prominence of cameras at tournaments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor the fans, it\u2019s great. They love seeing what goes on behind the scenes, what we do, what the facilities inside the tournaments look like,\u201d said the seven-time Grand Slam winner.<\/p>\n<h2>Tennis News<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/atp-tour\/monte-carlo-masters-carlos-alcaraz-surprise-jannik-sinner-admission\"><strong>Monte Carlo Masters: Carlos Alcaraz makes \u2018surprise\u2019 Jannik Sinner admission<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/carlos-alcaraz-loses-world-no1-ranking-jannik-sinnerv\"><strong>Jannik Sinner set to be crowned as world No 1 \u2013 here\u2019s why Carlos Alcaraz can\u2019t stop him<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Want more from Tennis365?

We should have spaces where we can be alone without being filmed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 22-year-old Spaniard also spoke about his mentality for his\u00a0title defence in Monte Carlo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a new year, new sensations, new things to improve, new things I think about in training and matches,\u201d Alcaraz said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m going to try to prepare as well as possible for the first match and for the coming week. I\u2019m not thinking about defending a title. It\u2019s about how I feel, and right now, I\u2019m just trying to have good feelings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the start of the clay season, Alcaraz added: \u201cIt is probably one of the best surfaces, without a doubt. I miss clay every time the season ends. I miss it a lot. It had been a long time since I played on clay; it felt like an eternity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe first sessions I did were to get back into rhythm, to tell myself, \u2018Alright, it\u2019s time to dirty my socks again.\u2019 Honestly, it\u2019s an incredible feeling to be back on clay.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ NEXT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/atp-tour\/atp-rankings-alcaraz-sitting-duck-shelton-american-no-1-rafael-jodar-32-marco-trungelliti-41\">ATP Rankings: Alcaraz under pressure from Sinner; Shelton back as American No 1, Jodar +32, Trungelliti +41<\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carlos Alcaraz speaks out about player privacy as he issues \u2018too much\u2019 criticism Ewan West 06 Apr 2026 1:30 PM Carlos Alcaraz speaks at a press conference Carlos Alcaraz has criticised the lack of privacy for players at tournaments as he called for \u201cspaces where we can be alone without being filmed.\u201d The world No [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[226,249],"class_list":["post-1868074","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-crawlmanager","tag-tennis365-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1868074","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1868074"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1868074\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1868074"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1868074"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1868074"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
