Carlos Alcaraz has been backed to follow in Novak Djokovic's footsteps by reaching the world No 1 ranking despite his early loss in Monte Carlo. The Serb's former coach Boris Becker believes the 18-year-old will reach the top spot of men's tennis if he continues his current trajectory in what is the latest in a series of big predictions for Alcaraz from former pros.
Novak Djokovic's brother has confirmed that he is in talks with Nick Kyrgios after sharing his wish to bring the Australian to Belgrade in gratitude for his support of the world No 1 amid his visa saga at the start of the year. Djordje Djokovic had previously issued the 26-year-old with a public invitation to the Serbia Open but Kyrgios is not playing the clay swing this year so is "in negotiations" to compete in 2023.
Justine Henin has slammed Alexander Zverev, Nick Kyrgios and Daniil Medvedev for their recent on court outbursts in the wake of an ATP crackdown on unsportsmanlike behaviour. Zverev was withdrawn from the Mexico Open in February when he smashed an umpire's chair with his racket and the seven-time Major champion believes the world No 3 should have been banned from competition following the incident.
Alexander Zverev should have been banned for his shocking outburst at the Mexican Open in March, claims Eurosport tennis expert Justine Henin as the seven-time Grand Slam champion hit out at “unacceptable” behaviour on the ATP Tour. Zverev was booted out of the tournament after whacking the umpire’s chair with his racquet in the aftermath of a doubles defeat in Acapulco – narrowly missing the official’s feet – and branding him a “f****** idiot”. Ad/> The German was handed a suspended eight-week ban and a suspended $25,000 (£19,000) fine, in addition to his earlier fine of $40,000 and forfeit of prize money and ranking points.
A clampdown on misconduct in the wake of recent on-court outbursts from Nick Kyrgios and Alexander Zverev is raising fears players will become emotionless «computers and machines».
Former men's tennis world No. 1 Boris Becker hopes players do not turn into emotionless "computers and machines" following the ATP's warning that there will be stricter punishment for on-court misconduct in the wake of a spate of angry outbursts.
Boris Becker hopes players do not turn into emotionless "computers and machines" following the ATP's warning that there will be stricter punishment for on-court misconduct in the wake of a spate of angry outbursts. Alexander Zverev was thrown out of a tournament in Acapulco in February after smashing his racket against the umpire's chair during an expletive-laden tirade, while Nick Kyrgios was fined for his outbursts at Indian Wells and Miami last month. Becker, who had many angry outbursts during his career, said the sport needed players to show emotion on court.
He concedes “everything has a limit”, but Boris Becker believes tennis is “an entertainment sport” and “a bit of blood, sweat and tears” are good.
