Feliciano Lopez believes Carlos Alcaraz is the chosen one as his charisma and values make him the right person to represent Spain.
Alcaraz has been quickly proclaimed the new Nadal and it's not hard to understand why. Spain hasn't had such a great talent emerge since Nadal and there are some similarities between them with Alcaraz even breaking some of the records Nadal held for many years.
According to Lopez, Alcaraz is the right person to represent Spanish tennis in the future because he's a great player with a lot of charisma and the right values for the role.
He is a chosen one, someone with charisma who reaches number 1 at the age of 19, winning a Grand Slam and who has very good values and transmits joy.
This year has been quite impressive for Alcaraz even though he missed quite a few events due to injuries. Lopez is not worried about the injuries beliving him good enough to understand his body and be ready for the next challenges. If healthy, Lopez expects great things from Alcaraz.
He is in an impressive moment and it is not easy to come back from various injuries and win two titles in an ATP 250 and a Masters 1000, being a finalist in an ATP 500 and a semifinalist in another Masters 1000. I trust that he and Rafa will do well in the next tournaments.
The Madrid Open director hopes to see Alcaraz take on Djokovic at the event because their match last year was truly impressive.
Hopefully Carlos will play with Djokovic again in Madrid and we will also have Rafa, who if he is healthy, will surely fight again for the big titles, and players like Casper Ruud, who made a lot of progress last year. In 2023 there is no clear favorite on clay.
