Carlos Alcaraz reached the final in a Grand Slam tournament for the first time. He is the youngest since Rafael Nadal in 2005, also considering the quarterfinals against Jannik Sinner and then the semifinal against Frances Tiafoe.
The young Spanish talent won the epic challenge that lasted more than five hours; challenge that has entertained and delighted all tennis fans. Alcaraz’s definitive exploit, which has already broken some unbeatable records, has attracted the attention of the media and professionals.
The name of the Spaniard has often been associated with that of Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal. The three legends that have made and continue to make the history of this wonderful sport. The victory against Sinner allowed Alcaraz to remove the pass for the ATP Finals in Turin.
The Spaniard will be able to play the Tournament of Masters for the first time in his career and dream of a victory on his debut.
Alcaraz: “Here’s what I think of Federer, Nadal and Djokovic!”
The other two players who are already certain of being able to take the field in Turin are Rafael Nadal and Stefanos Tsitsipas.
The Majorcan left the US Open in the round of 16 after a four-set defeat to Frances Tiafoe. The Greek, for his part, played one of the worst games of his career and remedied a bad defeat against Daniel Galan. Alcaraz spoke with great humility of the constant comparisons with the Big 3 at the end of the match with Sinner.
He told: “Federer, Djokovic and Nadal will be the best as long as they play. Their rivalry will always come before the others. Today, however, Jannik and I have shown that we are the present and the future of tennis and that we have a long career.
up front. We will face each other many times, I’m sure.” Juan Carlos Ferrero, coach of Alcaraz and former world number one, also expressed some very important thoughts on the future of Alcaraz and Sinner: “They will be two of the greatest players in the next ten years, with due respect for the others.
They have reached a very, very high level. There are other strong players, but I think the two of them will dominate the circuit in the future.”
