"He’s an unbelievable mover and a great athlete": Murray full of praise for Alcaraz after Miami exit to Lajovic
ATP
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.”

- I predicted whenthe list was finalised that Linda Noskova would win the WTA Finals and her matches against Gauff and Kostyuk prove that. She is the best (underrated) player in the world!Rapunzel11-11-2026
- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.
mandoist09-11-2026 - Ironically, Martina became a U.S. Citizen about the same time as the Orange Convicted Felon & Abuser was just beginning on his road to losing all Daddy's Millions!!
mandoist09-11-2026 - "Another fresh start is in the cards." Thanks for the Humor!! I'm guessing this is the minimum one can do to keep all your sponsors hanging-on in perpetuity?
mandoist09-11-2026 - Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.
mandoist08-11-2026 - Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??
mandoist08-11-2026 - Wtf? Why is there no reason? And what about the men's?Bel08-11-2026
- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
