The debate arose from the title of Carlos Alcaraz at Wimbledon and, apparently, he did it to stay. The world of tennis has spent several weeks in an exchange of opinions on the new era of tennis, in which what has been done by Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer with what the 20-year-old Spaniard could achieve in the future. However, there are many who believe that this discussion is going nowhere.
Serena and Mouratoglou, a successful tennis duo.
This is the case of the historic French coach Patrick Mouratoglou, who knew how to direct none other than Serena Williams. Through a long post on Instagram, the 53-year-old coach called the comparison between the Big 3 and the current world number one “nonsense”: “I don’t like the idea of putting the Big Three label on Carlos Alcaraz. We are in a different era and the Big Three will never happen again,” he said.
Currently, Mouratoglou is the coach of Holger Rune, the sixth best tennis player of the moment and a possible great rival of alcaraz in the future. Elsewhere in the text, the Frenchman highlights what was done by Djokovic and, without lowering the price of the Murcian, he insists on his position: “There is Novak who is the one who is dominating the game and then Carlos Alcaraz arrives and wins two Grand Slams at the age of 20 and is in an incredible position and has some impressive qualities. But labeling it Big Three to me doesn’t make sense,” he argued.
Djokovic and Alcaraz at Wimbledon
In addition, the Dane’s coach explained what was the reason behind the success of alcaraz about Djokovic at the All England: “Being the big favorite and always playing to increase your own extraordinary scores tests you, mentally, and ends up being a burden. I definitely think Alcaraz took advantage of that,” he said.
“It was a very mental match, they both made it but Djokovic had the match in his hand several times. Both in the tiebreak of the second set and at that breaking point in the fifth, but I saw him tense at key moments. Nole is the most successful tennis player in history and perhaps this is also on his shoulders”, concluded Mouratoglou later.
