As world tennis watches the meteoric rise of Carlos Alcaraz, the legend of the sport, Roger Federer has spoken out about the young Spaniard. The Swiss offers some wise advice on one aspect of his game. For him, Alcaraz must learn to channel his immense energy in order to prolong his career and avoid burnout, as he confided to We Love Tennis. “His intensity, the power of his shots, his physical abilities… It is obvious that he must be careful not to run on every ball, because it is not necessary, but he will learn with age and time.”Federer said.
Federer’s memorable Alcaraz memory
The Swiss then recalled a memorable moment: Alcaraz’s sensational victory over Novak Djokovic in the 2023 Wimbledon final. “I remember when he beat Novak in the Wimbledon final. It was something to beat Novak in five sets who was playing at his best.” For Federer, this performance is proof that Carlos Alcaraz is not only an exceptional talent, but also a player capable of shining in important moments. “He showed that day that he was that player and that he was here for the long haul.”he added. Despite his advice, Federer did not hide his enthusiasm at the idea of seeing Alcaraz continue to impose himself. He admitted to never having seen the young player play in person: “So I am excited to see Carlos play here because I have never seen him play in real life,” concluded the legendary Swiss player, visibly won over by the talent of the young Spanish right-hander.
