Carlos Alcaraz has carved out quite a solid career for somebody who is 18 years of age and the Spaniard seems destined for a great career.
2021 has been a breakout year for the young Spaniard who won his maiden ATP trophy this year while also breaking into the top 50 on the ATP Rankings. He finished off his year in stellar fashion proving the best out of the Next Gen players at the Next Gen Finals in Milan. He will represent Spain for the first time in the Davis Cup later this week and during the press conference compatriot, Feliciano Lopez spoke highly of him.
Lopez is a seasoned veteran who was able to notch 500 career wins becoming one of only a handful of active players to do so. Speaking about Alcaraz he did not hold back praise saying:
"So many things make Alcaraz special, I haven't see many players like him. Is very rare to see 18 years old kid behaving out of the court as he does in the court. He is much better than me at his age, so I don't have particular advices for him".
It's a very kind comment by Lopez that made Alcaraz smile and the youngster will prove quite key for Spain in the Davis Cup title defense. With Bautista Agut out he will need to play very well in singles in order to keep his nation in contention.

- 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.

- 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

- 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

- 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
