Carlos Alcaraz will face Alejandro Davidovich-Fokina this afternoon at Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell and the latter has a high opinion on his compatriot comparing him to the Big Three of Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic.

"It's like you have to play against the 'Big-3'. It has been shown that Carlos Alcaraz is at the level he wants and it is a matter of being focused on each point and not having a long-term vision, but rather going to each point, playing and enjoying," Davidovich Fokina said.

It is also a match he is relishing as they are both hungry to win with Davidovich-Fokina also performing well on clay so far this season.

“We know each other quite a bit. It will be a match that will have a very good battle. [Carlos Alcaraz] is younger than me, but we both come very hungry, we want to do our best. I know that he is at a good level and I am feeling much better on the track and I am going to do my best," he added.

"With Carlos it will be a good game. We are both good players. He is at a great level and I am feeling better on clay. It's going to be a great match."
