Nick Kyrgios adores Carlos Alcaraz and follows everything he does on the tennis court, yet he asks for time to develop into the best player he can be. Alcaraz defeated Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon final this year, which is an easily proven fact. On a crowded Center Court, where Djokovic had not lost in ten years, he accomplished it.
The Spaniard has a large following due to his exceptional play, some of whom are his colleagues. Nick Kyrgios is one of them; he actually picked Alcaraz to win the US Open in 2021 before the competition began. He simply enjoys Alcaraz’s style of playing tennis.
Kyrgios had the opportunity to remark on the contest between Andrey Rublev and Alcaraz. The Spaniard won in straight sets, and Kyrgios commended him for his efforts. Furthermore, Kyrgios asked supporters to be a little more patient with the young player.
Kyrgios expressed his remarks about Alcaraz and Djokovic and said: “To be this young and dominating the way Alcaraz has is, I think, incredible. There’s always going to be people saying, ‘We want more, we want more’, but you’ve got to be patient with him. I think he’s doing enough for that age. Novak is obviously superhuman; he is an alien from another planet.”
