Carlos Alcaraz became the youngest world number 1 after winning his firs Grand Slam title and many start to draw even more similarities between him and Rafael Nadal.
Despite Carlos Alcaraz stating in the past that he doesn't want to be compared to Rafael Nadal, fans and experts just can't stop seeing correlation between their careers. Former world number 3 and another successful Spaniard David Ferrer also mentioned both names in the same sentence when speaking to Punto de Break.
"What can I tell you? What is clear is that he is a special player, different. It is tremendous that at that age he assumes these responsibilities, that he is not afraid of the opposite and that he always wants more," Ferrer said.
"That's what amazes me about him, he reminds me of Rafa when he was that age, that way of assuming pressure, he had no problem with that. "Apart from that, tennis, physically and mentally he is superior to the others at that age," David Ferrer said.
David Ferrer also spoke about the coach of the world number 1, fellow Spaniard, Juan Carlos Ferrero, and his contribution to the success of Carlos Alcaraz.
"Carlos is a player who met all the conditions to get to the place he is now, to be number 1 and win Grand Slams. What I think is that without Juan Carlos he would not have achieved it at this age, he has done an exceptional job to make all this happen," Ferrer said.
