As Carlos Alcaraz continues to dominate the tennis world, the young Spaniard has expressed his dislike for the constant comparisons to fellow countryman and tennis legend, Rafael Nadal.
Alcaraz, who recently secured his third ATP Masters 1000 title by winning the 2023 Indian Wells, has experienced immense success in recent years, often drawing comparisons to the achievements of Nadal.
However, the 19-year-old has made it clear that he would prefer to be recognized for his individual talent and accomplishments, rather than constantly being compared to his compatriot. In a recent rapid-fire Q&A session, Alcaraz was asked about the one question that often annoys him.
Although he stated that the comparisons are not annoying, he expressed his desire for the questions to stop. The World No. 1 wishes to be seen as an individual talent, rather than constantly being compared to tennis legend Rafael Nadal.
"It's not annoying, but I would say the comparison with Rafa."
As a part of the Q & A, the young Spaniard was also asked about a player that he would like to get stuck in an elevator with. His response wasn't surprising and probably it wouldn't be different from many other players, as he said:
"Roger Federer. A lot of things to ask."
