Carlos Alcaraz He is close to being number 1 in the world again, but with a small fan he can’t help but talk about Rafael Nadal y Roger Federer. The Murcian has his two great references in the world of tennis in the Mallorcan and the Swiss. With Nadal he has already played some matches with mixed luck, while with Roger he trained but never competed officially. Alcaraz will arrive at Roland Garros as a great favourite, but he knows that facing Nadal there will be a “challenge”. One that he wants to face… And also with Federer.
“Playing against Rafa here in Paris would be quite a challenge, but I always want to play against the best”Alcaraz told France TV in the framework of the Premius Laureus, which were delivered on Tuesday in the French capital. Nadal has not played since January due to injury and he is expected to recover in time to compete at Roland Garros. “Hopefully he arrives here in Paris at 100% and that we can see him enjoy playing tennis again”Alcaraz wished, always respectful. “Obviously, I have a lot of respect for Rafa, he is one of the best athletes in history, one of the best tennis players”.
Alcaraz’s emotional speech at the Laureus Awards: “There have been hard moments”
Carlitos admired Federer a lot as a child, but a great regret in his career is not having been able to face Roger. “That thorn stuck in me for not being able to play against Roger, it is a game that I would have loved to play and in which I would have enjoyed a lot, but it could not have been”. However, Alcaraz does not lose hope and hopes to cross paths with the Swiss, even if it is at an exhibition event.
“Hopefully we will do an exhibition one day and that I can share the track with him, it would be something incredible”Alcaraz said about Federer. «Obviously I would have liked to play against him… It won’t be possible. What can I say about Roger? Leave a great legacy in the world of tennis.
