The ‘Alcaraz phenomenon’ seems to have no boundaries. Her spectacular start to the season, with titles in Buenos Aires and Indian Wells, the final in Rio and the semifinals in Miami, sparked a tsunami of praise, and not just within the tennis world.
His way of understanding the sport has become a model to followeven for the most veteran, who admires its freshness and spontaneity.
This is the case of Rory McIlroywho said in an interview with the Telegraph that “Carlos says his goal has always been to play with “joy and instinct.” It’s incredible, right? Listen to that: ‘joy and instinct’. What a beautiful, beautiful and simple ambition.”
The Northern Irish golfer acknowledged the Murcian was an inspiration, especially for the youngest. “It’s what all kids have when they start playing a sport and what’s always missing when the really good ones progress and become professionals.. Joy disappeared. The instinct is gone.”
McIlroy also featured the personality of the ATP number 2.”Alcaraz is not trying to be the new Federer, the new Nadal or the new Djokovic. He’s just trying to play tennis the way he wants to, but to the best of his ability and the way the fans want.. He said don’t make everything monotonous and life is more fun that way and it’s more fun to watch his tennis” to conclude with an interesting reflection.
“Of course, you need your structure and put in the hours and grind and be ‘professional’, but you must not forget the fact that it is a privilege and you have to enjoy the moments. It’s about more than winning, though of course that’s what you’re after. And maybe it’s because I’m enjoying the moment I act like I did on 18 last year at Augusta.”
These words of McIlroywho will take on the Augusta Masters from Thursday aiming to become the sixth man to win all four modern golf majors, They come a few days after Carlos Alcaraz and Fernando Alonso exchanged compliments.
The Murcian surprised everyone after his victory in the round of 16 of the Masters 1000 in Miami to the two-time world champion. Once his 6-4 and 6-4 was sealed, the world number 1 turned to the camera and wrote the message ’33? It’s close’.
A few hours later, after fulfilling his post-fight obligations, Alcaraz shared the dedication on social networks, accompanied by another message. “How 33?” He wrote, referring to the answer that Alonso gave a few days ago when asked about the fever that his great performance in Aston Martin was waking up in Spain. at the start of the World Cup, where he seeks to increase his harvest of 32 victories.
The gesture, of course, reached Alonso just a few minutes later and the two-time world champion did not hesitate to thank Alcaraz for his gesture on social networks. “Lock this man up! You’re a freak! Come on!” written in Asturian.
Alcaraz, who proves to be a big fan of Alonso, can hardly believe it. “You have me doing somersaults,” he replied. Good vibes between two references to Spanish sport, a historical man and a young man without limits, called to continue to bring joy in the coming seasons.
