MADRID, May 7 (Reuters) - Carlos Alcaraz is raring to get to Italy next week to compete in the Rome Masters for the first time in his career and reclaim the world number one spot from Novak Djokovic.

"I am an ambitious guy and I'm going full for the win in Rome," Alcaraz told a news conference on Sunday.
