Following his shocking exit to Dusan Lajovic at the Miami Open,
Andy Murray praised
Carlos Alcaraz heavily noting his strengths and what makes him so good.
Murray played Alcaraz in Indian Wells two years ago and he defeated him which was a remarkable feat. The Spaniard has improved dramatically since then and he's the current world number one with Murray praising him for his movement and tennis which fits all surfaces:
“He has an excellent game, an all-around game that I think will translate well onto all surfaces. He’s not the biggest guy, but he can serve big. He’s an unbelievable mover and a great athlete. Has a lot of variety in his game."
Speaking further about him, Murray noted that he hopes he keeps this style because it's going to be harder the older he gets:
“That’s something that you hope that he keeps that. I know from experience that it’s a bit easier playing that way when you’re sort of 18, or 19, and there’s not any sort of scar tissue there. I hope that he maintains that style of play because it’s exciting to watch.”
Finsihing up his thoguhts, Murray added:
“He’s so far in his young career doing better than most of the guys that have come (to the Tour) in the last sort of eight to 10 years. I know a lot of people are sort of expecting everyone to win 20-plus Grand Slams now, like that’s sort of normal. I wouldn’t predict that for anyone. I would imagine he would be right at the top of the game for, well, as long as he wants to play.”
