"We were saying similar things about Medvedev once upon a time": Kyrgios believes Alcaraz won't be unbeatable when flaws are exposed
ATP
Nick Kyrgios has dismissed claims that Carlos Alcaraz is unbeatable using the example of Daniil Medvedev as a player who was thought of as unbeatable in the past.
Carlos Alcaraz is the top player in the world right now holding the number one rank and being widely considered the most likely player to win Roland Garros. His play at the event certainly didn't do anything to dispel those claims as he's been utterly spectacular.
The win over Tsitsipas was pretty much flawless and when he plays like that he looks quite unbeatable. He's been so good that he's favoured against Djokovic, quite a bit according to odds in various sportsbooks- Even so, Nick Kyrgios doesn't really think that Alcaraz is unbeatable.

Exposing flaws
According to Kyrgios, such words were thrown around for Medvedev and then he proved to be quite beatable if you play a certain way. He thinks that's the case with Alcaraz as well. While the Spaniard looks quite unbeatable at the moment, that will change when somebody exposes all of his flaws in a tennis match and then the story will shift.
He responded to a question by tennis analyst and former player Mark Petchey who asked fans what sort of weakness they see in Alcaraz's game implying that he doesn't see any.
"We were saying similar things about Medvedev once upon a time. Not saying a see one, I’m just saying, until someone exposes them, they look unplayable."
Alcaraz himself admitted recently that he thinks of himself as a complete player with no real weaknesses so he clearly doesn't lack any confidence. However his loss to a player ranked outside of the top 100 in Fabian Maroszan recently in Rome, proved that Alcaraz truly is beatable though that one might have been a fluke more than genuine beating.

- 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
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.
mandoist05-11-2026 - Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.
