Citing one of his formative inspirations, tennis legend and fellow countryman Rafael Nadal, Alcaraz gushed: ?Rafa’s, whenever he congratulates you, Rafa makes you especially excited because in the end he is your idol.?

Nadal had also wished the younger Spaniard luck before the final, which the latter took to as a source of strength for what he called ?the most important moment? of his life. But Nadal was only the first in Carlos? long list of well-wishers as support poured in from all corners of the globe.

Alcaraz gives his thoughts on heralding a new era in tennis

Carlos Alcaraz may have accomplished a significant achievement in his career, but he is keen on continuing in perfect form over the remainder of the season. After an incredible grass-court swing, he has set his eyes on the Hopman Cup for now, which begins on the 19th of July.

However, when asked the million-dollar question of him heralding a new era in men?s tennis, Carlos had a humble yet selfish answer. Denying that a new era could even exist with Rafa and Djokovic still on the circuit, he claimed that the debate could only be addressed later in time. Meanwhile, his SW19 victory, he says, is ?for myself and my team, not to start an Era.?

What do you think? Is this perhaps the beginning of the end of The Big Three? Or is Alcaraz right about their domination?
