Juan Martin del Potro, a tennis player from Argentina, has said that Carlos Alcaraz, the current world number one, is one of his favorite players.
Alcaraz is now the talk of the town following his amazing victory in the Wimbledon final against Serbia’s great tennis player and current world number two Novak Djokovic last month with a score of 1-6, 7-6(8-6), 6-1, 3-6, 6-4.
De Potro claimed in an interview that Alcaraz’s game drives him “crazy” and that he also believes Alcaraz has a forehand that looks like a hammer.
De Potro appreciated Alcaraz’s game and said it during a conversation: “I don’t know if someone has the hammer now, but I think Carlitos Alcaraz. He hit his forehand really strong too. He has also the potential to hit better in the future years. I’m crazy about his game, about his charisma.”
