That with four tournaments on grass he already has Queen’s and Wimbledon in his record says a lot about the type of tennis player Carlos Alcaraz is. What he has done is incredible, it is something unique and that is exactly what Novak Djokovic said in the press conference after the final. If anyone can break the records of the three monsters, four if we count Murray, it’s Carlitos. Who is going to beat him when Nadal and Nole leave for good? I honestly don’t see anyone currently on the circuit capable of stopping him. Maybe Sinner if he improved a lot, but I don’t see the others capable of doing damage to him continuously. A new player will have to appear, because if not… It must be taken into account that he has beaten Djokovic at the center-back at Wimbledon and at the age of 20. And it is that if he is number one in the world and adds two Grand Slams without having experience, it is unimaginable what he can achieve when he progresses. He has a lot of room for improvement and is very good technically. None of the tennis players that I have seen, and I include Federer, Nadal and Djokovic, showed at the age of 20 the level of technique that the Murcian has. And he would mentally say that he is on the same level as Nole and Rafa, who are two extraterrestrials in that sense.
About how he was prevailing in the final after getting involved in the first set and suffering in his flesh from the best receiver in the world, I highlight how he puts pressure on himself in those complicated situations and goes forward. And he puts that pressure on himself because he believes what he is doing. Even when he doesn’t need it because he’s in control of it, he pushes himself to give more. That’s why he’s able to win Wimbledon.
In my opinion, he is more of a specialist on hard courts, but he will be the great dominator on clay, because there are no more specialists on clay and, when Nadal leaves, he will be the most dominator on that surface.
