Carlos Alcaraz, the rising star

Carlos Alcaraz, a young Spanish prodigy, made his mark by beating Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon final in 2023. Federer, an admirer of the player, expects to experience great moments watching him perform at the Laver Cup.

“His intensity, the power of his shots, his physical abilities…” Federer said. “I’m excited to see Carlos play here because I’ve never seen him play in real life before.”

Alcaraz, aware of the wait, hopes to put on a show worthy of the name and impress Federer, his idol of always. “I will try to put on a show, to win a big point just so that he enjoys watching the match.”
