According to former Roger Federer coach Ivan Ljubicic, Carlos Alcaraz is a weird combination of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic.
Alcaraz defeated De Minaur 6-4, 6-4 to win the Queen’s Club Championship this week, reclaiming the world No. 1 position. He is now getting ready to compete at Wimbledon for the third time in his career, and he has a 4-2 record in matches at the third Grand Slam of the year.
Recently, Ljubicic commented, “He [Alcaraz] brought another dimension to tennis, a dimension young players lacked in the last 10-20 years. He is positive, and he is something we haven’t seen so far – some sort of ‘sick’ combination of Djokovic, Federer, and Nadal.
I just hope that his body holds up, because he is putting crazy demands on his body at this moment.”
