From its irruption in the professional circuit, to the present, where it already has four Majors titles and became the youngest number one in history, Carlos Alcaraz (3rd world ranking) It caused endless opinions, due to the rapid comparison with his compatriot Rafael Nadal, winner of 22 Grand Slam titles, among other great achievements. At present, with the Murcian’s statement he wants to be the best in history, he attracted different opinions.
Given the visibility of Alcaraz’s priorities, not to deprive himself of spending good times, but still looking to be the best of all time, Carlos Moyá, former world number one and former Nadal coach, said about it. In an interview with Relay, he declared: “It is a viable option if you want to win Grand Slam tournaments in the short term, but in the long term it is more complicated, because this is a background race at the end“.
On the other hand, he said: “Wanting to be the best in history that way, it can become … I see it very difficult, I see it difficult to have a normal life, it is very complicated. It is clear that by level it can become, how does he say? Of the three who have achieved it (Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Nadal), no one has been so. But maybe Carlos is a guru, a pioneer, and gets it. “
“It is impossible to win what he has won if there is no discipline and without a job. He has the right to live, what he is saying does not harm anyone. Is it sustainable in the long term? It is very difficult, but he already has his team, who is the one who advises him and the one who directs him,” he concluded.
Facing Roland Garros, in addition to Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner and Casper Ruud, Moyá did not encourage to rule out a legend: “(Novak) Djokovic is a great of history and the greats you never have to discard them at all. He feels a bit empty after closing the circle in the Olympic Games. “
