Carlos Alcaraz is blossoming into a superstar and his former coach Kiko Navarro doesn't think that will distract him from his goals.
Carlos Alcaraz defeated Casper Ruud in a winner-takes-all final at the US Open recently and he became the youngest World No. 1 in ATP history. He was one of five players that had the chance to emerge from the US Open as the number one player in the world and he rose up to the occasion.
Peaking so young can be overwhelming for a young player but his former coach doesn't think it will matter much as he revealed in an interview with Eurosport.
"I think it won't affect him even if he spends two years without winning a Grand Slam. I know him well, and he likes tennis too much to break down and get distracted. He will always have goals; he will not burn out."
It was an honest assessment from his former coach who knows the inner workings of Carlos Alcaraz well. His first test in the Davis Cup was a fail as he lost to Felix Auger-Alaissime. The loss was not caused by pressure but rather fatigue after a long two weeks in New York.
