This is an insane comparison 🔥 Alcaraz 2023 x Federer 2006
Carlos Alcaraz is future of tennis due to having a 'very complete game' says Novak Djokovic in Sinner and Rune comparison

Carlos Alcaraz is seen by many as the heir apparent to the Big Three when Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal eventually retire from the sport and that is definitely in the mind of the current World No.1 and 24-time Grand Slam champion.
Speaking this week in Malaga, he said that while Jannik Sinner and Holger Rune can also be construed as being up in the reckoning, Alcaraz is the most complete player out of all of them.
He said that it's mainly his 'mentality', 'ability to fight with pressure' and that in his mind, he is not the only one who believes this is the case.
"Carlos is a spectacular player. Also a very good person, with very good values. His entire team, his family, are good people. He's 20 years old, so he has a lot of time," said Djokovic.
"I'm not the only one who says this, but the future of tennis is Alcaraz, also Rune and Sinner, but especially Alcaraz because he has a very complete game. But also he impressed me a lot with his mentality, the ability to fight with pressure. It's very impressive for a young player."

- FYI: The term 'snub' is a much overused verb by writers of sensationalist rags. [SNUB: rebuff, ignore, or spurn disdainfully]. That is not the definition of what is going on with frequent withdrawals from tournaments.
mandoist16-09-2024 - No offence, Mr. Lloyd, but where have you been the past two years?? How long have you been a tennis fan? This 'article' may be informative for newbies or fair-weather tennis observers but the majority of fans know the root of the multiple issues within WTA. The #1 issue being the subject of health & well-being which has been (or has attempted to be) addressed with the WTA Elitist council members last season. WTA was extremely dismissive of players' concerns and opposed to such a meeting. Eventually giving-in due to publicity and allowed selective players only -- no rep's, no medical personnel, and no team members. The meeting was a farce as WTA soon after that released an even more hectic schedule... with mandatory tourneys! Guess they weren't taking notes?? BTW: There is a lot missing from this piece concerning "withdrawals". No writer has yet taken the jump to get behind the scenes and dig at the problems -- obvious organizational problems. IMO, the top two issues are WTA's lack of proper attention to health & well-being of its Money-Makers; and Financial Greed. Tip to Mr. Lloyd: there is no "snubbing" when these players withdraw. These women have to take such measures as withdrawing from a tourney, and occasional time-off from the circuit, to protect themselves -- because WTA refuses to take any measures at all (although not allowing matches until sunrise is a start). Surely you can do better than point fingers at players. The finger-pointing should be directed entirely at WTA (and ATP). Be a true journalist, Mr. Lloyd, and research them!!mandoist16-09-2024
