Carlos Alcaraz is the champion of the Next Gen ATP Finals, the executioner of the Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas, world number three, who was able to reach the quarterfinals of the US Open at the age of 18. He began to carve out a space for himself in the international context as successor to Reef Nadal. A comparison with his reference that indicates the potential of the Murcian, although he is taking off from the figure of the manacorí because he has more and more of his own presence in international tennis.

He responded on the court by preparing an epic match with the number 7, the Italian Matteo Berrettini, which he led to a fifth set after losing the first two. It gave rise to a spectacular duel of 4h.10′.

His message is as simple as it is revealing of knowing how to recognize the merits of the adversary, leaving aside the logical disappointment of not having won a prize that he cherished.
“Good game, man! Bravo! You deserve it. Bravo. Good luck, huh?” Alcaraz told Berrettini in Spanish on the net.
