McIlroy shares his views about Carlos Alcaraz and his playing philosophy

The 18-year-old Spaniard has already made a name for himself in the world of tennis. He’s been hailed as the next big thing in the sport, drawing comparisons to tennis greats such as Roger Federer. The ex-boyfriend of Caroline Wozniacki, McIlroy, believes the player remains grounded and focused on playing the game in his own unique way despite such lofty comparisons.

According to The Telegraph, the golfer shared, “I’ve been reading Alcaraz’s interviews. The expectation on him to be the next big thing as that golden age comes to an end… well, it’s incredible really. A lot of what he says sticks with me, but especially one bit.”

McIlroy went on to explain how Alcaraz’s approach to tennis reminded him of the joy he felt when he first started playing golf. According to McIlroy, Alcaraz’s philosophy is a reminder of how easy it is to lose the instinct and joy that comes with playing a sport professionally.

He added, “The joy goes. The instinct gets lost. Alcaraz is not trying to be the new [Roger] Federer or new [Rafael] Nadal or new [Novak] Djokovic. He is just trying to play tennis as he wants to, but also to the best of his ability in a way that the fans will love. He talks of not making everything monotonous and life being more fun that way and his tennis being more fun to watch.”
