At Just 20, Carlos Alcaraz Emerges as an Inspirational Figure as Renowned ATP Star Lays Bare a Heartfelt Confession – ‘Get Very Inspired and Motivated…’

Players who win many tournaments automatically gain millions of fans around the world. They are loved by many, and younger players look up to them as their idols. But sometimes, the situation is a little different. Once in a blue moon, a player comes along and plays with such panache that players who are more seasoned look up to them. 

Stefanos Tsitsipas is one player who is enchanted by a player who is much younger than him. In a recent interview, he talked about why he is inspired by Carlos Alcaraz. This is not the only time Tsitsipas has praised Alcaraz. The Greek player admires Alcaraz and praises the Spaniard often. He even linked him to another Spanish great. 

Stefanos Tsitsipas idolizes a younger player

Stefanos Tsitsipas is a player who has garnered quite a name for himself. Consistently playing in the top 10 for almost four years, the Greek player has amassed a good fan following. He recently played in the Davis Cup, where Greece was defeated by Slovakia. After his loss, he talked about the defeat in an interview. According to him, he carried the responsibility of being an older player. He then talked about living up to his idol.

“I didn’t play like one of my idols does, when I see him play I get very inspired and motivated to do the same. I’m talking about Carlos Alcaraz, who has incredible pace in his games. He plays with so much determination, without fear and today I felt like I chased it as I should. It’s often difficult when I play with my brother, it becomes more emotional than any other partner I’ve ever had.“

The 25-year-old Greek has praised the younger Alcaraz and has talked highly about Alcaraz many times before.
