During the 2024 Laver Cup, tennis star Casper Ruud expressed admiration for his teammate Carlos Alcaraz, despite the young Spaniard facing recent challenges on the court. Alcaraz, a four-time Grand Slam champion, is representing Team Europe and is eager to help his team after enduring a tough season, which included a loss in the final of the Paris Olympics and a second-round exit at the US Open.
Ruud shared his thoughts on Alcaraz, saying, “What he is doing is incredible; having a young player like him is great news for tennis. He has a talent rarely seen in this sport, and I have great admiration for him.” Ruud hopes Alcaraz continues to improve and looks forward to competing against him in future matches.
Alcaraz’s achievements this year, including winning the French Open and Wimbledon, have solidified his reputation as one of the sport’s brightest talents. Roger Federer, present at the Laver Cup as an organizer, also commended Alcaraz, particularly for his intensity and ability to thrive in high-pressure situations, highlighting his victory over Novak Djokovic at Wimbledon.
