This season of the ATP Tour is proving to be a great year for Spanish tennis, which is seeing the birth of a possible legend with Carlos Alcaraz. After four titles won, the young tennis player promises to be one of the stars of the international scene and thus become number one in the world.
The Master 1,000 in Madrid was the cherry on the cake for Carlos Alcarazbecause he managed to win the title after beating Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Alexander Zverev. This feat surprised Justine Henin, one of the best tennis players in history, who did not hesitate to consider that the Murcian tennis player He is the best in the world before the microphones of the Belgian media “Sudinfo”.
“At the game level, Carlos Alcaraz It seems to me more complete than Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer or Novak Djokovic. I think it’s a good mix of all three.”, commented the former number one in the WTA ranking.

The news of the Big Three
Carlos Alcaraz He is constantly compared to the members of the “Big Three”, a group that was created to separate Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic from the other tennis players due to their high level.

Roger Federer has not played a match since July 2021 thanks to the knee injury that still keeps him inactive, while Rafael Nadal felt pain in his foot again after the Rome Master and his participation in Roland Garros is in danger.
