"You forget how young he is and how little time he's really spent on the tour": Robson calls the level of Alcaraz 'scary and outrageous'

Carlos Alcaraz was heavily praised by former player Laura Robson of Eurosport as she predicted that he and Sinner will have a great rivalry moving forward.

Carlos Alcaraz and Jinnik Sinner played another match and this time around it was Sinner who was able to get the win. The Italian has beaten Alcaraz before but this win stuck out because Alcaraz himself was looking so sharp. Robson noted how well Alcaraz was playing in Miami admitting that she was stunned by it:

“Honestly, Alcaraz's level in that whole tournament [Miami] was insane. I kind of struggle to imagine him improving even more, but he's just got so much more ability that you feel like he could get to, which is almost the scary part for all of his opponents as he continues to develop as a player because you forget how young he is and how little time he's really spent on the tour, and yet he's just outrageous."

Speaking further on Alcaraz, she said:

“I just love how much he enjoys the challenge of competing, and every match that he plays, whether he's playing really good or having a bit of a tougher day, it just looks like he loves the competition and playing in front of a crowd, soaking up the atmosphere. He's just a joy to watch.”

On the rivalry, Robson added:

“I just think it's a match-up for the future that's going to be so fun for the fans on any surface. When you think of how they could potentially play on the grass because that's a favourite surface of Sinner, who enjoys the faster surfaces. The amount of respect that they have for each other as well, pre- and post-match, they just have nothing but good things to say about the other player. It seems like when they come on court, they know they have to be at 100% against each other because of the game styles, how hard they can hit the ball, how well they move, they kind of do everything extremely well."
