Carlos Alcaraz said being the top seed at the French Open was 'crazy', something he would not have believed years ago, but the Spaniard will not dwell too much on his position heading into the year's second Grand Slam.

Alcaraz, who turned 20 this month, captured the U.S. Open title in September to become the youngest man to top the world rankings. He will leapfrog Novak Djokovic into the number one spot again after the ongoing Italian Open."It's great to be the number one seed at Roland Garros, in a Grand Slam, it's something crazy," Alcaraz said after his 6-4 6-1 victory over Albert Ramos-Vinolas in Rome on Saturday.
