According to jannik sinner, we wont be ending this engagement because Carlos Alcarez is.
Pune: Samuel Lopez, a member of Carlos Alcaraz’s coaching staff at the JC Ferrero Academy back home in Spain, isn’t quite ready to crown the man who could be the next great thing in men’s tennis just yet.
The 20-year-old Alcaraz made his impending succession clear last year at Wimbledon with his incredible five-set victory over Novak Djokovic.
The defeated Serb showered the young Spaniard with praise in his post-match press conference, claiming he combined the greatest elements of the Big 3 (Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic) in his game.
Since then, the defeated Serb has improved his major total to 24.
Though Lopez, 54, downplayed the excitement.
In my opinion, Djoko
Vic had something to say on Carlos (post-final). Although it may be an unbelievable parallel, Carlos finds it to be incredibly pleasant.
However, Lopez refuted the statement, saying he was in Pune to supervise the coaching program at the JC Ferrero India Tennis Academy.
Naturally, Alcaraz possesses the same level as Jannik Sinner. However, the Big 3 are currently in charge. Carlos is a charming man. You must fight on and keep going because perhaps one day you too will be a king like them.
Although Lopez’s playing career was not very noteworthy, he has a long list of accomplishments as a coach.
Pablo Carreno Busta, a former World No. 1 player, is presently under his full-time coaching care.
10 who defeated Djokovic to win the bronze medal at the
Olympics. However, Lopez had been a member of the main coaching staff at JC Ferrero facility and had collaborated closely with Alcaraz ever since the latter came to their Alicante facility at the age of 13.
Ferrero travels with the young player, but Lopez fills in when necessary, as he did both this year at the Australian Open and last year when he won the Queen’s grass-court event.
In addition, Antonio Martinez, the father of Lopez, was a coach and mentor to Ferrero. He also co-founded the academy bearing Ferrero’s name, which collaborates with the Maharashtra government, MSLTA, and Maha Tennis Foundation on a program to develop players and coaches in the state.
Although Lopez claimed that the Prince and the King of Clay were essentially different, comparisons to Rafael Nadal were unavoidable.
They play with strength, are Spanish, and are physically fit. However, Carlos differs slightly from Rafa, he claimed. “In my opinion, Rafa has the best mentality of any athlete in sport history. For me, Carlos is a distinct top choice.
He enjoys performing frequently for the enjoyment of the audience. He also enjoys playing well a lot. He enjoys playing incredible shots, trick shots, and heavy fighting. His goal is to triumph.
Although I have no doubt Carlos will go on to win more Grand Slams, 14 victories at Roland Garros is not conceivable. That is absurd.
According to Lopez, the Spaniard will be motivated by rivalry with players like Australian Open champion Jannik Sinner. He remarked, “I hope he goes on to win 14–15 Grand Slams.”
When Pete Sampras won 14 Grand Slams in the past, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novakovic all remarked, This is inconceivable, it’s a Guinness record.
Three guys are currently hitting 20, 22, and 24 (slams) simultaneously. Considering the history of the sport, this is unreal.
Perhaps Carlos won’t win 20 Grand Slams since competition and motivation are necessary.
Right now, Carlos and (Jannik) Sinner have a great rivalry. Alongside (Daniil) Medvedev, (Alexander) Zverev, and (Holger) Rune.
I hope Djokovic and Rafa can continue for more, but it’s so difficult, said the tennis enthusiast. “This is a beautiful rivalry. The next generation, which is prepared, is what we must consider.
