Despite a double degree in Spanish/Communication, I decided to take my dreams into my own hands by moving towards journalism. With a master’s degree in sports journalism, I cover sports and football news with as much admiration as ever for the transfer window, when a club has to make crucial choices for next season.
Considered one of the big favorites for this 2024 edition of the US Open, Carlos Alcaraz can undoubtedly claim to obtain a fifth Grand Slam, all at only 21 years old. For the legend Mats Wilander, the Spaniard creates an expectation around his matches greater than those that Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic could provoke.
Carlos Alcaraz ready to make history? Already a winner of l’US Open In 2022, the Spaniard is back on the American major, and has the firm ambition to raise his head after his defeat in the final of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games against Novak Djokovic. Is a fifth Grand Slam possible for the 21-year-old, who has already made history on numerous occasions? Possible. In any case, the style of play proposed by Alcaraz continues to leave its mark, like that of Mats Wilander.

“When I watch him play, I expect things to happen that never happened.”
“He’s an artist, he’s passionate and he can hit any shot. We know now that he has a bit of anger, like most 21-year-olds. It shows his passion. The crowd gives him a lot of energy. But I think he feels a certain pressure. When I watch him play, I expect things to happen that have never happened on a tennis court before.”the Swede said in comments reported by WeLoveTennis.
“I didn’t expect this from Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal or Andy Murray”
“And I didn’t expect this from Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal or Andy Murray. Sometimes Roger Federer has been able to create moments like this with his level. The 2022 US Open final made Carlos Alcaraz a superstar. The level was so high and that’s why we’re all so excited.”concludes Wilander.
