The six-time Grand Slam winner lauded that Alcaraz is re-writing the history of Tennis with his game.

Speaking to Macra in May 2022, Mats Wilander asserted that Carlitos is important for Tennis and that he has everything it takes to be a great player. He compared Alcaraz with his peers Stefanos Tsitsipas and Alexander Zverev only to hail the Spaniard as the best and analyzed that he could do whatever they could, but vice-versa is impossible.
