Carlos Alcaraz is nearing a return to the number one rank and former legendary player Bjorn Borg predicts him to stay there for many years.
The Spaniard will not make a return to the top spot after this week even if he wins Madrid as he will trail Djokovic by a small amount. He is however likely to make a return to the top spot after Rome as he didn't play last year and Djokovic won the event.
Borg spoke exclusively to Eurosport about Alcaraz, claiming that the Spaniard will stay at the top spot in the rankings for many years to come as he's simply been amazing with very few players showing themselves capable of beating him.
After this week he’s going to be No. 1 in the world, and I think he’s going to be staying there for many years. The way he plays, the way he moves, I like the whole game. No weaknesses.
This is not the first time Alcaraz has been called a complete player as several others made those claims in the past. Rick Macci called him the most complete player and that man knows a thing or two about talent and tennis.
And Roddick also recently called him a more complete player than Federer and Nadal at 19 which was another massive praise for the youngster. Borg watched him play today against Coric and he was very impressed.
This was a semi-final today, I think he has a good chance to win the final. But to watch this guy play is unbelievable, I’m very impressed.
Alcaraz will likely win the event in Madrid because he's been so good so far, and it will be a very good way to celebrate his birthday. He turned 20 today and we wish him a happy birthday and good luck in the final.
