Switzerland’s legendary tennis star Roger Federer has warned
Spain’s young sensation Carlos Alcaraz to be vary of his ‘physical capabilities’.
The 21-year-old is already regarded as one of the best players currently
playing in men’s tennis in the singles category along with the likes of Italy’s
Jannik Sinner and Serbia’s legendary tennis star Novak Djokovic.
Federer, who is regarded as one of the greatest players in
the history of men’s tennis in the singles category in the Open era, having won
as many as 20 Grand Slam titles, was recently quoted in a report where he
warned the young Spaniard to be vary of his physical capabilities and not push
the limits going forward.

“His intensity, the power in his shots already, his physical
capabilities that he has,” he said “Obviously, he's got to be careful, you
know, (that) he doesn't run basically for every ball because it's not
necessary. But he'll learn that with age and with time. But also very strong
(mentally) when it matters the most."
Alcaraz is going through a fabulous 2024 season, where he won
two out of four Grand Slam titles. The former world number one first won the
French Open after beating Germany’s Alexander Zverev in the final in a five-set
thriller with a score of 6–3,
2–6, 5–7, 6–1, 6–2. He then won the Wimbledon title after beating Serbia’s Djokovic
in the final in straight sets with a score of 6-2, 6-2, 7-6. Alcaraz also played
in the final of the singles category event at the Paris Olympics, where he lost
to Djokovic in straight sets with a score of 7-6, 7-6. He is currently taking
part in the China Open, where he booked his place in round 16 after
beating France’s Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard in the tournament opener in
straight sets with a score of 6-4, 6-4.

- It's sad... but Rybakina is not going to be able to endure her groomer's interference in Life and still excel to her best level.
- You seem to have 'lost the plot' ??
- This needs to be done, and I think Jessica Pegula is an excellent choice for chair to look into the situation. However, a very brief look at the other members of the panel would suggest a very USA heavy contingent. The group needs to represent all interests, not just turn it into a way the US can screw more money out of an already biased calendar.
- The tennis world should be kissing her feet for taking-on this long needed position in a much needed council. The WTA and ATP need a good shaking-up. Pegula's business heritage is a proven one. Let's hope she and her colleagues can stop WTA & ATP from shutting their work down and out. GO GET 'EM !!
- So the Sportswasher's largest market is... the Filipino community? That's all well and good but the hundreds and hundreds of empty seats throughout is embarrassing. Talk about bad optics!
- The poor Head Sportswasher has been whining and crying in the media, and basically threatening Saba, Iga, etc. Must be a real Ego Buster when they dangle money and people (especially Women) say, 'No thanks'.
- "Losing-itis" is not uncommon in Emma's small world. Just keeps begging the question, 'What are sponsors paying for? Limited tennis appearances... or Social Selfie Media presence?'
- Dubai can suck it up like everyone else. Just because they think they run the show, they do not. Sportswashing does not give them Power.
- You're losing your mind here.. You use a lot of space, yet inadequate knowledge. Read the WTA Rule Book 2026; it answers all your questions and accusations.
- Why single out Iga and Aryna to punish?, Since when do players get punish because they withdraw from tournaments? Maybe if they both were treated like number one and two players, they would not have this problem. The WTA discriminates against them because of their nationalities, yet they want to make money off them. Every tournament, Iga has harder draws than qualifiers from the beginning to the end. In the Australian Open they stuck Aryna out in the sun the majority of her matches in order to tire her out. She is the number one player in the world and she never got the opportunity to play with the roof closed. If they want these top players to continue playing and making money for them, then they should treat them as such. Otherwise, get the players who they are always giving out cupcake draws to like Pegula to play their tournaments. Lets see how many seats in the audience she will fill. Iga has more fans in the seats than any player in the WTA, yet she is always disrespected and mistreated because of her nationality. The WTA is a corrupt, bias and racist organization. No matter what job someone is on, you cannot tell them that they are not sick or injured.
