All You Need To Know About Carlos Alcaraz

Spanish tennis sensation Carlos Alcaraz has been one of the most progressive players on the Tour. He has registered his career-best performances this season at the Grand Slam events. He made his main draw debut in 2020 at the Rio Open and managed to beat fellow compatriot Albert Ramos Vinolas.

In recent times, Carlos Alcaraz has been tipped to be the successor of Rafael Nadal. However, the youngster avoids those talks and wants to set an identity of himself. Moreover, both players have different styles of play. Rafa likes to hit the ball with topspin on it whereas, the teenager likes to hit the ball hard. He is currently coached by former Grand Slam winner Juan Carlos Ferrero.
