Carlos Alcaraz remarked that he does not compare himself to the Big 3 but would like to emulate their accomplishments and consistency after winning his first Major title and rising to world number one.
For the past 20 years, Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, and Rafael Nadal have dominated the sport, taking home a staggering 63 Major titles between them. Alcaraz acknowledged that becoming the youngest World No. 1 ever was "amazing," but he made it clear that he is seeking consistency over an extended period of time.
"It's incredible to be the youngest #1 ever. But it's much tougher what the Big 3 is doing: stay on top for 20 years. That's what I'm looking for. I don't wanna compare myself to them, but I wanna be like them." said Alcaraz who added:
"I agree with Juan Carlos. I'm at 60% of my potential. There are a lot of things to improve. Nadal, Djokovic and Federer improved a lot of things over the years. I have to improve mentally and physically. The tennis too. I can stay in my comfort zone."
