“Never compare Carlos Alcaraz to Federer, Nadal and Djokovic”
The performance of Carlos Alcaraz logically lead to comparisons with Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer et Novak Djokovic. To pour, Mats Wilanderthese comparisons have no place: “I think 2022 will be very difficult for Alcaraz to digest. But I also think that Juan Carlos Ferrero will know exactly what to do. I think there is a validation process that needs to happen for Carlos. ‘Am I really number 1 in the world?’ I mean, who can be number 1 at 19? He shouldn’t be considered the best player, but one thing is certain: it’s very funny to see him playing tennis when he’s so good and laughing at the same time. He is the most inspiring tennis player we have for what he did in 2022 and above all for the way he did it. Never compare him to Rafa, Roger and Novak, I’ve never seen anything like that”supported Wilander.
