World and Olympic badminton champion Carolina Marín, confessed his admiration for Carlos Alcaraz in statements to Eurosport, whom he says is “a diamond in the rough”. In addition, he explained that he does not like the eternal comparison of the Murcian with Rafa Nadal since each one is as he is. Finally, he has acknowledged that he would love for there to be a Carlos Alcaraz in Spain who would surpass him when the time comes for him to retire.
Alcaraz “is a player that I love”. Hopefully “when I am a few years older or about to retire, someone will appear who can compete with me and beat me, here in Spain and in my own country. It will mean that I can retire knowing that someone will come behind me who will do great things”.
What the woman from Huelva doesn’t like so much is “that compare Carlos Alcaraz with Rafa Nadal. Nadal is Nadal and Alcaraz is Alcaraz. Each one has its place, with paths at different times. You can’t compare people or athletes.”
Carolina wanted Carlos Alcaraz: “Carlitos, for Roland Garrós and everything that comes ahead.
