Carlos Alcaraz has chilly water poured on accomplishments with Big 3 discuss downed

However, well-known tennis coach Gunter Bresnik, who helped Boris Becker and Dominic Thiem attain the very prime, is just not satisfied with Alcaraz’s degree. He feels the Big Three had been significantly better gamers of their prime and warned towards getting too excited by the 20-year-old.

“I’m still convinced that Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, and maybe Murray – played better at their best than Alcaraz is doing today. So yes, if Nadal should reach that level again, [he can challenge Alcaraz],” stated Bresnik. “He can hit every single shot and is already a complete player, but above all he is an incredible athlete.”

Most not too long ago Bresnik was teaching Gael Monfils till they cut up in May. Alcaraz beat Monfils at Indian Wells final 12 months which allowed Brenik to get some helpful suggestions from his participant.

“After a game against him, he said that Alcaraz’s shots were fast and powerful, but that wasn’t the big problem for him as an opponent. But that he was shocked when he saw how fast Alcaraz was,” Bresnik defined.

“And Monfils should know, he’s one of the fastest on the tour himself. In addition, Alcaraz is serious – and yet playful. That sounds contradictory, but it isn’t. And he has one of the best coaches in Juan Carlos Ferrero, who has a lot of experience and leaves Alcaraz no room for stupidity.

“Alexander Zverev additionally as soon as educated beneath Ferrero, however after a short while he gave up as a result of the circumstances had been too militant for him. Ferrero could also be too strict at occasions, however success proves him proper.”

Meanwhile, Djokovic is hoping to get revenge against Alcaraz in the final Grand Slam of the year at the US Open.

“He’s going to be on the tour for fairly a while. I do not know the way lengthy I’ll be round,” the 23-time Major winner said.

“Let’s see. It’s been solely three matches that we performed towards one another. Three actually shut matches. Two already this 12 months in later phases of Grand Slams.

“I hope we get to play in the US Open. Why not? I think it’s good for the sport, one and two in the world facing each other in almost a five-hours, five-set thriller. Couldn’t be better for our sport in general, so why not.”
