Word of champion, of legend. Roger Federer, world tennis icon and honoree these days at Wimbledon, a Grand Slam of which he is an icon, spoke of Carlos Alcaraz in an interview with CNN. The Swiss praised him openly: “Carlos, being so young, is doing incredible things. I don’t like to put a lot of pressure on young players but he is, but he does it. He is one of those types of players who says I am going to Wimbledon and I’m going to win, I’m coming to Paris and I’m coming to win Roland Garros.” A projection that Federer sees reflected in many successes: “That’s why I think he’s going to achieve great and incredible things in the future and that implies many Grand Slams or many years as number 1 in the world.”
The Swiss explained the difficulty of functioning in Wimbledon, with such an atypical surface: “I am very interested in watching these Wimbledon matches, especially these first matches in which the grass is like carpet. It is soft and also slippery, you have to take steps extra. With confidence in your movements and playing very well, because things get difficult. But I think there are many ways to win games and that’s what champions are made of.”
