Patrick Mouratoglou reveals 3 reasons for Alcaraz's success

Carlos Alcaraz won his maiden grand slam at the US Open a few days ago, after beating Casper Ruud in the final.

The Spaniard finally became a grand slam champion after claiming earlier this year in Madrid that he was ready for it. He also became the number one in the world which was a longtime dream of his as well. Noted tennis coach Patrick Mouratoglou talked about Alcaraz and singled out three reasons why it happened:

"The first one that is most impressive in his mental strength, that is incredible. All these expectations on his shoulders, the number one ranking, the first Grand Slam, having to save match points, being completely exhausted physically and is able to deliver in these conditions."

Moratoglou continued by ointing out his physical abilities such as explosivness and speed:

"The second is his physical abilities. The intensity combined with explosiveness, the way he hits the ball with so much violence with every single shot."

Finally, the French coach said:

"And number three is how complete his game is. No weaknesses, great from far behind the baseline, great from close to the baseline, 30% of his shot that he hits are inside the baseline, great at net. To develop all this at 19 years of age is unbelievable."
