"The Best Player In The World" - Carlos Alcaraz Described By His Fellow ATP Players 

WOOOOOOOOOO

Congratulations to this fine young man. What a role model for the up and coming generation.

*Stolen from Novak. If Alcaraz has any self respect he wouldn’t accept the number 1 title

@@seekfirstthekingdom4388 shut up

@@seekfirstthekingdom4388 Lol even with Wimbledon points Alcaraz is no.1 sorry bud

I am glad he didn't put himself in there 😆

@@AhmedKhan_83 pretty sure he will do it too

Prediction confirmed.

I said this on his debut in Rio 2 years ago.

Amazing! You're a real clairvoyant, aren't you?

I agree!!!

Totally agree!

Yes, his mental strength is shocking. His court sense is uncanny, and his tennis IQ is off the charts! At 19 Carlos already possesses the most complete game since Roger. Carlos volleys way better than most of the other top players. He will change this game as all champions do.

Always positive and smiling even in stressfull situations. Always fighting and finding solutions

that has always been the differentiating factor between the big 3 and the others and this guy is already showing the same quality !

He's also very handsome. But he should stop hitting umpire chairs.

He’s good at giving speeches, if only he could’ve controlled himself better…

Next Gen? He is not next gen. he was next gen 4-5 years back. Next gen players are those who are 21 yrs old or younger. Sadly, med/tsitsipas/zverev have only disappointed. In last 4 years, they have been talked about a lot but achieve very very little.

@@marcinmm3644 Medvedev acts like he feels guilty for unseating Novak for no. 1

Is true, have been a great year for him, but let's see what's going on.

Yeah buddy Carlos is in love with tennis, he play because he like it, in the final in US, he was a warrior not stand to wait any ball he fight and lose energy, this is Carlos he like to play tennis and that's it, the nr one, 19 year's old the only one in the history, he love to play, great Carlos

This is not prime Alcaraz. This is just young Alcaraz.

There is no doubt that he and Iga are why I want to watch tennis now. But winning a slam is not only about skill. There's a whole approach to navigating the 2 weeks, and Alcaraz had some good breaks on his side of the draw and some very, very close calls. His strange losses in the middle of the season are a red flag, but he (like Iga has) can continue to improve and make some of those close matches less close. It easily could have been Sinner or Tiafoe in the final. But I actually don't care. Wawrinka may be one of my favorite players of all time, but Alcaraz (in men's tennis) is the only one who gives me that same feeling I get when watching Federer do his thing (even in losing matches). As he says, he loves playing tennis. And there's nothing so fine as watching someone who loves what they do do what they love. I hope he wins everything all over the place but in the meantime, I'll truly look forward to and enjoying watching him play.

👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

Top comment, I really felt Grigor’s words when he was saying people should stop putting so much pressure on Carlos. Spoken from the heart

@@Paperbagman555 yup he knew how it felt

he pass the torch

It´s nice to read that....Sinner is also VERY talented and he knows that...some pros and ex-pros see a future number one in him and he knows that...

The match between the two at the US Open really could have gone either way. Sinner played beautifully. But indeed Alcaraz right now is the champ.

Carlitos man!!! Its written and pronounced Carlitos!! We say SIMON, we dont say Simmon, or Simoon ... Understand?? No hard feelings.

@@marco-antoniotrujillo6944 hahaha I respect it, Carlitos!

I love Jannik Sinner future world No.2 if not no.1

@Young Young You’re right! Six months on I’ve totally changed my mind about Ons Jabeur, I don’t really know what has happened to her game. Rybakina is the one to watch for the future!

Actually he won Miami first

@@clarkkent1680 it’s crazy to think too he won Rio not too long before this as well.

Madrid 2021

He won Miami first and the most important, he was born in Murcia ( Spain) not in Madrid….

Budd a star was born in Murcia not Madrid, but don't worry is in Spain

You also gotta give him credit for playing that final smart. He knew he was a bit tired, so in the first 3, he didn't really try to rally. Then that 4th set happened.

Couldn't agree more.

" even though you are 5 years old " XD

He was about to call Carlos' age but suddenly realize that he didn't know the exact age so there he was with brain freeze 🤣🤣

The last was Lleyton Hewitt at the age of 20 years and 266 days in 2001. Amazing achievement from Carlos Alcaraz!

Congrats to him, but he has to thank djokovic for that

So 6 months after, Alcaraz is still number 2, won Buenos Aires, Rio finalist and he is now in IW quarterfinals... so no, he is not going to be like Thiem.

@@raxrax223 I hope he can keep himself injury free. He is a young maestro, and there is so much to improve and enjoy in his game. Tonight, with Felix is going to be a good match. Felix beat him in different tournaments.

That was during the Indian wells where it was Norrie Basilvashili final.

@Young Young He's not that tall at all but hes still young enough that I think he might be able to grow an inch or 2 if hes lucky. I think there are plenty of guys on the tour close to 6' or under that have a more effective service game but with his ability to serve and volley he would almost never be broken in my opinion. He also makes some ill advised shots that make it harder on himself but It's amazing that he could win majors while still learning even if it does take him 5 sets.

Time is on his side for developing the serve. He's already got a great kicker for the ad court.

Not necessarily fearless. Just not as afraid. Fear doesn't have to hold players back. It can simply be a wall to go through.

Tiafoe?

@@akin1989 xdd

Auger Aliassime no

Aliassime? 🤣

Auger aliassime is like the worst out of those guys lol

because Stef is Alcaraz son

😂

😆😆👍🏻

He put himself in there 🤣

@@Irishb0y also he said sascha for some reason i could not believe it out of everyone, he had to put the guy that puts himself in there.

@@zechengfang9708 hahaha yep, never thought someone else would put sacha there, not just himself LOL

from the results he had to put himself to up there

no he's not

he needs to improve a lot

🤣🤣🤣 what!!! When was that?

@@The-zk2rl tennis tv RU-vid: ATP stars predict their 2022 breakthrough player. Although to be fair they never asked who would be the better player but back then even I thought Alcaraz would be the no brainer

@@RFN22 Djokovic say Alcaraz in that video

@@tennislove6716 yeah I know

I think a lot of guys chose Brooksby cuz Alcaraz was already becoming a big name in 2021. He beat tsisi at us open last year and was getting good results already. I really don't like Brooksby tho at all XDD

He never played there but Casper did!

España sera por muchos años la cuna del Tennis. Dos escuelas la de Nadal (Ruud school) y la de Juan Carlos Ferrero (Carlitos). Many more top players will be coming from there .

Fokina

@@KS-hk6oc ty bro,it doesnt look like him xD

@@luisangelgarciaescudero9285 Perhaps because of the hat when he was playing he doesn't wear cap and with ponytail or japanese style of hair i say 😁

@@luisangelgarciaescudero9285 It's Eminem 🤣

And play each other, too! :)

As a Federer fan I'm afraid that upon his return, when meeting a player of this calibre, it might become a bit of a showdown. You have this 19 year old player going into stratospheric level and a 41 year old trying to recover into a shade of his prime. Watching Alcaraz today I'm not even sure prime Federer could beat him. No, such an encounter will not end well for Federer and I currently can't see what a come back could still add to the fantastic career he had.

@@knotwilg3596 Indeed, but at the tail end of his career, this may be the showdown Federer is looking for. I doubt that Federer can beat Alcaraz even if he makes a full and perfect recovery from his injuries. After 20+ years on the top of the game, competing with the young guns to see what damage he can do is probably what keeps him going. See Connors or Navratilova.

@@knotwilg3596 prime Federer couldn’t beat him? Spare me 🤣

@@jimnosnow4484 yeah this isn't even "prime" Alcaraz lol

As long as he takes care of his body and mind very well, he can certainly achieve many, many great things.

@@JiraiyaSama86 yeah, right now it looks he'll be unstoppable, but yes he needs to do and not do lots of things to stay on top and be special like the big 3 used to be.

He had every justification to say that - Djokovic, while not allowed to play every tournament, still obviously plays as good as ever, as seen in Wimbledon. Medvedev won USO '21 and made the AO final this year and has shown he can be an all-surface player. There's no shame in losing to the Kyrgios we've seen recently. Zverev also had an incredible hard court season last year and was poised to give Rafa a big fight at this year's FO, arguably looking like he had a chance to win if he hadn't gotten injured (not to mention he had beaten Alcaraz the previous round). If you ask me, Medvedev and Zverev have been the most consistent among their generation, and Djokovic is very clearly still at the top level.
