Carlos Alcaraz has been told to "focus on himself" amid multiple warnings over the comparisons people have drawn between the 18-year-old and Rafael Nadal. Both Alcaraz's coach Juan Carlos Ferrero and former world No 2 Alex Corretja have encouraged the world No 11 to "keep his own way".
Alex Corretja believes Stefanos Tsitsipas was “desperate” when he appeared to hit the ball at Carlos Alcaraz during their quarter-final clash at the Barcelona Open. Tsitsipas was down 5-4 and 40-0 when he ran to pick up a volley on his forehand side. Ad/> With Alcaraz at the net, Tsitsipas fired the ball back straight down the middle of the court, forcing his opponent to duck out of the way.
Alex Corretja has warned against making comparisons between Carlos Alcaraz and Rafael Nadal after the 18-year-old’s victory at the Barcelona Open. Alcaraz moved up to ninth in the ATP rankings with a 6-3 6-2 win over Pablo Carreno to become the youngest man to break into the top ten since Nadal. Ad/> He said: “We all know that the comparison between Nadal and Alcaraz will exist.
Novak Djokovic has been told he needs to get in at least "ten to twelve matches" ahead of his upcoming French Open title defence. The world No 1 is currently playing just his third tournament of the season in Serbia where he managed to come from a set and a break down in his opening match to end his losing streak.
Rafael Nadal is taking a risk if he decides to come back from injury at the Madrid Open, according to Alex Corretja. Nadal was diagnosed with a stress fracture of his rib following his Indian Wells final loss to Taylor Fritz in early March.
Novak Djokovic will need to work on his physical conditioning if he is to pose a threat at Roland Garros, believes Eurosport's Alex Corretja. In just his second tournament of 2022, Djokovic crashed out of last week's Monte Carlo Masters in his first match to eventual finalist Alejandro Davidovich. It was a very un-Djokovic performance, with the usually durable Serb fading in the third set as Davidovich outlasted him physically.
Carlos Alcaraz has been told he must "learn to deal with" his newfound fame and hype after causing the same type of frenzy as Rafael Nadal at the Barcelona Open. Former world No 2 Alex Corrteja warned his fellow Spaniard that his week at the ATP 500 event would be "very important" but admitted he had no doubt that the 18-year-old would learn to handle the pressures of becoming a top player and big star in his home country.
Carlos Alcaraz has been named as one of the top "three or four players" to win the upcoming French Open, with Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic the clear favourites. Alcaraz became the youngest man ever to win the Miami Open when he lifted his maiden Masters 1000 title on Sunday and is now being tipped for even bigger and better things.
