Alcaraz: Tennis vs Golf Difficulty – World No. 1 Speaks

Comparison of two sports featured on DeChambeau’s YouTube channel
The difficulty of playing tennis at the world’s top 100 rankings
Handicap 11.2 Recognized high-level amateur

Carlos Alcaras (Spain), the youngest career Grand Slammer ever, compared the difficulty of tennis and golf.

Alcaras appeared on the YouTube channel of golfer Bryson DeChambeau (USA) on the 5th (local time) and was asked by DeChambeau, ‘Which sport is more difficult, tennis or golf?’ He answered, “Tennis is easier to learn at a level you enjoy,” but “If you compare it to becoming a professional player and being in the top 100 in the world rankings, tennis is more difficult.”

Alcaras is ranked No. 1 in the world in singles on the Men’s Professional Tennis (ATP) Tour. On the 1st, he won the men’s singles event at the Australian Open tennis tournament, becoming the youngest person ever to achieve a career grand slam.

He also plays golf often. In particular, during the US Open, a major tournament last year, he played golf with Sergio Garcia (Spain), who plays for LIV Golf, and enjoyed golf to the point of preparing for the next match. Alcaras is a high-level amateur with a handicap of 11.2 certified by the Royal Spanish Golf Association. Alcaras, who appeared on LIV golfer DeChambeau’s YouTube channel, chatted while playing golf with DeChambeau at a golf course in Florida, USA.

When asked which of the four major tennis tournaments was her favorite, Alcaras said, “Wimbledon.” He said, “If I had to win only one major tournament, it would be Wimbledon,” and revealed that it holds special meaning among the four majors.
