Chris Evert was stunned by the level Carlos Alcaraz showed in the Indian Wells final against Daniil Medvedev noting that the Spaniard really has no weaknesses.
Whether that is true or not remains to be seen because he's beatable after all but he looked quite invincible against the Russian. Not many players are able to make Medvedev look awful on a tennis court and that's what happened on Sunday. Speaking to Eurosport following the final, Evert talked about the superstar:
"I don't know how he can improve anymore. The beauty of his game is that he has no weaknesses whatsoever for any of his opponents to have a chance unless he's having a bad day. Other top players in the past, they've been brilliant, but you always felt like there was some sort of weakness in their game or something they could really magnify and bring out. Carlos, the way he is defensively, and the way he is offensively, no other player can do those two aspects as well as he can."
And more:
"He is the best mover on the ATP Tour by far, I think. He has the mental component as well, which is confidence - he thinks he should win any match that he plays, and he has sheer passion and delight every time he hits a ball. He's just very creative and he adapts very well. I think this is definitely going to be his year. I don't see how it can't be unless he gets injured. I have high expectations. Some majors, maybe more than one, and maybe some good rivalries will come out of the men's side as well."
And some more:
"I want to say he is the epitome of what an athlete should be, with the qualities, and the tool-set. He was born to be a champion. He was born to be brilliant in the field of tennis, and he's got the tool-set as well as the championship intangible qualities like focus, hunger and passion. I just think if he stays the course and doesn't try to get too over the top with his creativity and with his imagination if he just stays the course and carries on that momentum that we just saw at Indian Wells, I think he is the number one in the world right now. He is going to win multiple majors."
