Toni Nadal stars Carlos Alcaraz as Rafa’s successor: “I think you’re going a little too fast”

But without a doubt, the most prominent headline was given to him when they asked. carlos alcarazconsidered by many to be Raf’s successor.a. And the uncle of the Majorcan star was strong: “I think you’re going a little too fast”told.

“Carlos Alcaraz is a great player and I think he will be number 1 in the world. He’s very good, but I saw that that part of the press had finished, finished and replaced Rafael. Comparing Alcaraz to Nadal is ridiculous. It’s possible… that Alcaraz has accomplished the same thing as Rafael in ten years. It’s possible because he’s a great player. He has almost everything, he has a very good ride, a very good backhand, a good head, very fast… I see him as the maximum judge of the later years of the ATP circuit. “Toni Nadal will have to beat Zverev, Medvedev and his team, but he will be in a position to do it.”

Also, when asked if he wanted to dethrone Rafa, “I think so,” it was clear. and explained “He won the Australian Open three months ago and if he hadn’t been injured he could have won the Indian Wells final where he had a rib problem. That means his level is high enough as Rafael showed yesterday. [en el partido contra Djokovic]. Then we will see, everything changes very quickly in sports”. Toni Nadal exemplifies this with Real Madrid: “We saw it in football, Madrid had nothing to do against PSG, Manchester City and they won. Normally fighting people are usually always there. And Rafael is a fighter. Any desire to dethrone Rafael? I don’t even consider it. I know it’s normal… people want to see a new figure but at the same time you say ‘don’t delete me so soon because I’m not a finished man’. I confined myself to confirming a fact I saw when people said that Rafael no longer had a chance to win at Roland Garros, but I believe that when he’s on the field, if he’s in minimal form, he’s an opponent to take. consider”, Rafa’s uncle finished.
