‘He Hasn’t Achieved Even Five Percent..’ – Carlos Alcaraz’s Future Predicted With an Invincible Novak Djokovic Statement as Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal Snubbed

The discussion of new talents coming up in the world of tennis and their ability to challenge the experienced greats is always an interesting topic. One such star, who is making waves right now, is Carlos Alcaraz. Many believe that the skill and determination of this young athlete brought him to a level comparable to the best in the sport, like Novak Djokovic. But as the excitement mounts, a legendary Serbian coach’s perspective gives us a more outrageous perspective.

Carlos Alcaraz: A glimpse of tennis future or present hype?

In discussions of Djokovic’s dominance, one name keeps popping up: Carlos Alcaraz. With 25 wins and 7 defeats on the concrete last year, the young Spaniard has attracted attention with his impressive performances. Alcaraz’s talent has, yet again, sparked discussions about whether he has the potential to stand alongside legends like Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer.

Yet, before we get ahead of ourselves, it’s wise to heed the words of tennis expert Radmilo Armenulić. “But he has yet to prove himself,” he cautioned. While acknowledging Alcaraz’s talent, Armenulić reminded us that he’s still got a long way to go before matching the achievements of tennis giants like Djokovic, Nadal, or Federer. According to Armenulić, Alcaraz’s accomplishments so far are just a tiny fraction of what these established players have achieved.

Armenulić stated, “He is a great talent. But he has yet to prove himself, because he hasn’t achieved even five percent of what Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, and Novak Djokovic have done. He has a future ahead of him, but it is not certain that he will achieve what these three have achieved. We will see what will happen in the next tournaments, if he wins a few trophies in a row, maybe it can be said that he can reach Rafa and Roger, but Novak will never reach.”

To say that Djokovic is formidable on hard courts is a wild understatement in itself. This isn’t just a mass public opinion. Former Serbian tennis player Radmilo Armenulić thinks Djokovic has an 80 percent chance of winning the US Open. But there are some tough opponents he needs to watch out for, like Carlos Alcaraz, Stefanos Tsitsipas, and Daniil Medvedev, according to Informer.

Novak Djokovic’s dominance in the US hard courts

As the tennis season kicks off in the United States, Novak Djokovic is gearing up for action on his favorite surface: hard courts. His preparation includes the Cincinnati tournament, where he has triumphed twice before. Djokovic’s prowess on hard courts is well known, backed up by an impressive 91 percent success rate over the past year, winning 34 matches and losing only three.

Everyone’s eager to see what Alcaraz will do next. Can he really become a tennis superstar? Or is he still a bit green behind the ears? While it is exciting to think about, Acaraz is still only 20. It’s an exciting thought, yet tempering expectations is important. Armenulić reminds us that achieving Djokovic’s level, who held the world No. 1 ranking for an astonishing 389 weeks, is no easy feat and will pose a herculean challenge to whoever makes an attempt to break the record.
