That Carlos Alcaraz will bring much joy to Spanish tennis is something that can be seen coming. AND when the Spanish’s own rivals affirm how good he isthat idea does nothing but increase.
After last night’s game against Hubert Hurkacz, the Pole answered a question about Alcaraz in the press conference afterward. “He is playing wonderfully for his age. It’s really amazing how he plays, how he competes. It’s definitely something special the way he plays at this age. Truly, he has an incredible career ahead of him. It’s crazy how well he plays”, he declared.
Also, Casper Ruud was asked after his match about the possible rivals in the match that will decide the tournament, since he did not know if it would be Alcaraz or Hurkacz. “I think we can all see how talented he is, that he has a very good mind for tennis. He understands the game very well. He knows when he should hit certain shots and when, you know, probably not,” the Norwegian noted.
The Miami finalists have only met once. It was in Marbella last year, where the Spaniard won 6-2, 6-4. “I think he played a very good game. You know, I barely had a chance, it seemed to me, so I would try to get revenge, of course. He came out shooting flames at me. If I play against him, I will try to take advantage of that and think that I would like to take revengeRuud stressed.
