John McEnroe picks the title defender as his favorite

Tennis pundit John McEnroe chose Alcaraz as his favorite as an ESPN expert and a commentator for the US Open. The young Spaniard is frequently hailed as an amalgamation of the best qualities of the Big 3. Though the ATP 1st seed snubs the comparison and desires to pave his path to glory, legends cannot ignore the young talent who has everything it takes to be a champion.

With two days to go for the major, the Superbrat declared Alcaraz the most complete player he has ever seen. According to the US Open website, McEnroe opined that the 20-year-old Spaniard is a better player than Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Djokovic in their 20s. Johnny Mac revealed that Alcaraz is just great at everything.

McEnroe said, “I think that the way he plays is absolutely spectacular. He’s the most complete 20-year-old I’ve ever seen, and that includes Novak and Roger and Rafa. He seems to me like he’s pretty much great at everything.”

The former No. 1 prays for the current 1st seed’s health to watch more of him. The expert said, “He’s got this attitude that you dream of having as an athlete and as a player. Then you combine it with his athleticism. He’s one of the quickest guys—he’s got to be the top couple quickest guys I’ve ever seen on a tennis court, without a doubt. I don’t even know where to start with this guy. I just pray he stays healthy.

While the two-time Grand Slam winner is one of the best players ever, it won’t be easy for him to defend his title. Djoker lost the opportunity to equal Margaret Court at the Wimbledon Championships by losing to Alcaraz. A new rivalry looms between the champion and the legend as one aims to make his mark and the other dreams of creating history.

Whoever wins, if fans get to witness the duel between Alcaraz and Djokovic, it would be the highlight of the Slam.
