The pasta recipe Carlos Alcaraz always eats before games: "It gives me energy."

Carlos Alcaraz is the name of the moment after a historic comeback against Italian Jannik Sinner to win his second Roland Garros . At just 22 years old, the tennis player from Murcia has become one of the professionals of the moment, and one of the secrets to his success, of course, is his diet , which is one of the foundations of his lifestyle.

Alcaraz takes care of his physical condition with training and a diet tailored to his needs, although, as he himself admits, he's young and has gotten drunk on the odd night.

This is one of the secrets he revealed in one of his interviews with El Hormiguero. Not only that, but the tennis player also revealed some of the dishes that make up his diet.

Pasta, ambrosia and dates

When it comes to going out, the young Murcian confessed that he's a gin and lemon type, although when it comes to preparing for matches, Alcaraz gets serious.

While he usually eats fish and rice at night, as he himself told El Hormiguero, before each match he has his signature recipe: Pasta with ambrosia . "An hour and a half before a match, I eat pasta with 100% cocoa cream, dates, and olive oil to give me energy," the young man confesses.

This pasta recipe, which the tennis player sweetens with dates and cocoa and eats before every match, is one of the secrets to his energy on the court. Ambrosia , the star cocoa in this recipe , is made from dates, hazelnuts, extra virgin olive oil, cocoa powder, and lecithin.

In addition to his diet, of course, Alcaraz maintains a perfectly controlled and measured training routine , ensuring that he trains four hours a day. "I'm always at the gym at 9:30 a.m. and I'm training nonstop until 1:00 p.m.," the young tennis player from Murcia told Pablo Motos.
