Alcaraz, another early explosion ‘bomb’ like Nadal

Date:

Rafael Nadalrecord holder of 21 titles Grand Slam of tennis, sitting at the same table as Michael Jordan, Leo Messi either Tiger Woodsthat is, in the exclusive group of the best athletes in history.

It is worth remembering this to make clear any comparison between him and Carlos Alcaraz He remains at the beginning of both on the circuit, with 18 years, the current age of Murcian and, therefore, at the moment the only valid measure in this matter.

Time will tell where Alcaraz will arrive, but time has already shown that Carlos perfectly holds the wrist with that Nadal who also amazed the world at a young age. To ‘Nadal Bomb’ following the ‘Alcaraz Bomb’which also delivers in and out of the path the quality and charisma of the elect.

That he reached the world top-10 at the same age and on the same day as Nadal, on April 25, 2005 in his case, was the last time, albeit poetically, between the king and the heir of Spanish tennis, also called the highest level of world tennis.

That doesn’t mean Alcaraz is a new Nadal in the making because the Balearic will certainly not be repeated and the pressure is absurd and unfair for the Murcian, but Carlos has shown such potential that he is painted as 1 if he will continue its remarkable development.

“In Barcelona he has given an impressive level. He has already given it on the hard court and has shown that he can also on clay if he is well and clean. It is fun to see him play like this. We hope there are many more”, his coach assured, John Charles Ferreroformerly world number 1 and, therefore, a unique tutor for his experience guiding Alcaraz through complex elites and celebrities.

“There’s noise, and we’re trying to control it, but Carlos needs to get used to his new role. Everything changes very quickly, and you have to keep your feet on the ground. He needs time to assimilate everything,” he said. warning. Ferrero.

With Carlos Alcaraz a star was born. There is no doubt about it. His light is brilliant so you have to be careful not to dazzle, but his appearance is as strong and fast as his blows and will inevitably amaze the present and future that can be predicted in his career.

His game is as complete or more than 18-year-old Nadal’s: the three main strokes of tennis, forehand, backhand and serve, carry more dynamite and to these virtues he adds a solvent that game on the net and the best drop shot in the world. In tennis, the more resources in the backpack, the more tactical variations to deal with battles. They are in Alcaraz. Rafa’s privileged head is unparalleled, but Carlos’ winning mentality is also strong.

The remarkable thing about Alcaraz is that, playing at his highest level, very few tennis players can beat him despite their youth, yes, reaching a good version itself. Without further ado, Nadal himself had to squeeze himself to the maximum last month to beat him in the semifinals of Indian Wells (6-4, 4-6, 6-3), prelude to Carlos ’shocking win next Miami Masters 1,000.

“I don’t want to put limits on myself. I want to continue playing at this level and, if I succeed, I will have a lot of options to beat the best players, more battles and tournaments. That’s what I’m looking for. will continue to improve, “Alcaraz said.

Nevertheless, from now on the most serious tests will come to Murcian, that is, the response to pressure and performance in the Grand Slams, the tournaments that truly mark the differences between talented players, of which there are few, and the great champions, who are few.

Nadal (21 Grand Slams), Novak Djokovic (20) at Roger Federer (20) resolved these challenges with dignity because they are examples of continuity, regularity and continuous learning. Thus they marked the legendary era of ‘Big Three‘.

Alcaraz has been ahead of his entire career to tread his own path. Alcaraz entered that debate with all the courage of his tennis and personality.
