One year later and he’s just done BOTH. What an amazing time to be a tennis fan and watching the early years of Carlos Alcaraz.
Yup
4 years after his debut. This is just incredible and very likely unmatched
The kid just keeps on climbing the ladder of champions. He's climbing awfully fast now.
And now he has 2 GS titles and won against statistically the GOAT of tennis, incredible.
Everybody is talking about Carlos but Juan Carlos Ferrero what an instinct to find a diamond in the rough at age 16.
lmao, everyone already knew alcaraz was better than players his age at that time. doesnt take instinct. i saw him also
@@TheRafaelBond clear to see lol
@@TheRafaelBond Yeah he was introduced as a new Nadal at the age of 15 already
@@stidudiiduri No pressure at all....
I think it’s less an issue of instinct but Ferrero’s commitment of his time and attention on Carlos.
After all, there are a lot of “players better at their age” that eventually fizzle out.
He really just went and did it, won a Major and got to No.1 at the same time. Blew everyone's expectations out of the water. King Carlos is here
Yup
And he made his debut in 2018.
And just won Wimbledon 🤯
His aura is so humble yet insanely intense on court. A very different player and still improving.
Zverev predicted Carlos would be top 10 by 2024 lol. I reckon he'd already be there by the end of next year
Zverev had to put himself up there first for 2022 and 2023
It's about being there and staying there!
Hes way off with that
hes playing it safe
@@Makaveli_93 tbf zverev is in there lol
I love his boyish almost shy smile when he says he wants to be number 1, like he's dreaming. Even when he has accomplished the almost impossible feat of defeating Novak, he still says he has a lot to learn and improve. That's why Juan Carlos Ferrero and his fans love him. God bless you Carlos!
He has amazing eyes. They're like a dark grey colour.
ayo?
Who cares about what color his eyes are I mean really?
Future number 1 in the world! For sure!
We have heard this too many times, by now. Does he have what it takes to make it in the majors? No idea. His retirement against FAA at the US Open last year when no injury was apparent wasn't a good sign, but let's see.
@@fundhund62 He had something muscular since his match against Tsitsipas
He might become number 1 tomorrow!!!!!
@@fundhund62 and then he plays a total of 23 hours 40 minutes total in the US Open this year and still wins it lol
@@fundhund62 this aged well.
Came back here after his Wimbledon victory and hot damn this guy is special
Wonderful job Juan Carlos Ferrero with this young tennis star Alcaraz
Juan Carlos has instinct and vision. They make a powerful team.
Juan Carlos Fererro is my most fav tennis player! Glad to see he is coaching a young n upcoming star in Alcaraz
@@shazli7 Always liked Ferrero as well. Looks like he and Alcaraz are a good combination.
@@707ladytee Fererro has a blazing forehand and his movement was very quick. That's why he was nicknamed El-Mosquito
Ferrero seems like a perfect fit for Alcaraz. He's been to the top, and he seems to have a good disposition for coaching such a talent. I hope they stick together during this ascension and beyond.
This aged EXTREMLY WELL! Perfect ending to video!
Just saw this video again 😍youngest world number 1 ever crazy
Well he just did both in one night. Legendary!!!
Yup so happy
Spain is such a powerhouse tennis country. And Carlos is the brightest star of the young generation. Endless potential. Vamos Carlitos!!
Spain is a powerhouse in sports in general.. Although imo rafa is the greatest sports player they have ever produced
@@HILAL19564 Well in some sports yes..in football, basketball, handball and tennis. But in the rest they are not as good as others. USA, Russia, Germany, France, UK, China are more versatile.
@@patrickhauser588 also in karate, climbing, cycling, waterpolo, canoeing (all disciplines), weight lifting and many more. Having said that u r right about other countrys, they have more medals but Spain have at least one or two top performers y great part of the sports, but we don't have more because the government give no money to the sports federation here ;(
If he keeps his head down, practice hard, he will be another Nadal.
@@patrickhauser588 Trial, MotoGp, Motocross, enduro, F1, Judo, Taekwondoo, sailing sports…
well guess what just 10 months later he won his first grand slam and is number 1 of the world. what a player 🔥
Yup
And additional 10 months later he beats novak in a 5 set thriller of a wimbledon final and beats the virtually unbeatable player on grass
The first 5 seconds and he did just both today, Vamos Carlito, US Open 2022 Champ and youngest no. 1! 🇪🇸
Yup he did so happy
Love hearing the spanish! It's nice to hear someone's native tongue and get really nice English subs
and now he is #1 amazing!
Medvedev and Carlos will be the only reason I will follow tennis when Djokovic and Nadal retire. Yesterday he pulled one of the best shots ever in tennis, could't believe my eyes what he did. All the best, Amigo!
@Epic quicker yt Sinner is also a 🌟 star
@Epic quicker yt Sinner is also good, but he's not my favorite. Maybe I will change my mind next year, who knows.
@Epic quicker yt sinner is good but I don't think that he has the unique skills to get to the very top that Alcaraz has. Sinner is a very good technical striker of the ball but Alcaraz has amazing movement, special forehand, more variety of game and is clutch on the big points (except the French crowd got him but that won't happen again)
@@huzcer And Carlos has star vibe, he will be very famous. I don't know why, but I'm 100% sure.
@@huzcer Let’s hope so! That crowd was very vicious.
sympathic, confident guy
at the same time very humble! Polite mature vamos Alcazar with Ferrero👍
And he did it, less than 12 months later :)
Carlos - you’re my no. 1 tennis idol now. Stay humble as your coach Juan Carlos Ferrero told you. I followed the career of your coach, he’s humble and simple person even he’s no.1 player on that time. Continue and maintain your no. 1 ranking. 🙏
Man gave him a goal of top 50 and dude got 32. And if he wins tomorrow he'll take in two titles as well for this year
He definitely is a top 50 player. Next year he should be able to get top 20. Top ten either next year or 2023.
But if it takes him longer it takes him longer. I just want him to have an amazing career.
Mate I believe he is already playing on the levl of top 15
I mean if he face one of Rublev Berrettini Rudd Sinner Shapo or FAA I would actually give him a 50 -50 chance
@@sahilpanjwani2277 with the form that shapo and FAA have been in, i would give him higher than 50/50. Against rublev, ruud, berettini, yea probably 50/50. Against jannik he is 2-0 so far. I think his style counters janniks pretty well
He's playing at a top 5 level right now, at age 18. He will win 12+ slams and will be number one for several years
@@benholden8750 this is too soon to say. And he's definitely not playing top 5 dude. He's got nothing on Nadal, Djokovic, Medvedev, or zverev yet. But he'll get there.
But I do hope he gets to number one and wins more than one slam. A career grand slam would be amazing!
Well he is already top 20 now. Sky is the limit for this young champion.
He achieved both his major goals on the same day
Yup
Spaniards are hard working, large hearted, honest, simple people. Very very likeable. Ego is a terrible thing for an athlete.

Humble champion and human with Heart of gold ❤️🎾🏆👑. Vamos Carlitos!
Huge talent + experienced coach + hard work = unbeatable
Yup
With Carlos putting in so much hard work at this age and with all round positivity, I don’t see why he can’t be number 1. He is a determined person who will be unstoppable. Wishing him the Best.
And he is hopefully he finishes YE #1
I was lucky enough to watch him against murray in vienna 2021 and oh my god what a performance he did, unbelieveable level for his age.
He was special I knew it once I watch him play Umag
And he just won Wimbledon 🎉
Tope 10 by 2024. I love it! He's number one in 2022 Incredible
Zverev: "My guess is that he is going to be top 10 by 2024"
2022: No
My new favourite Spanish athlete.
He’s humble, willing to learn, and an incredible talent. In my opinion, from tje next Gen, its him and Sinner who will have the biggest rivalry
Carlos alone will dominate men's tennis once Novak is retired!
He should
Just like i've followed all 3 goats, i an watching this youngster as he quickly climbs up the success ladder. A brilliant talent with a indomitable will and competitive drive to be great. Keep humble and keep fighting Carlos, the world is very appreciative.
Came here after Miami. This guy has played 4 finals now, and hasnt dropped a single set!! Amazing
Yup
I was at the U.S. Open this year when he beat Tsitsipas. I'm a HUGE Tsitsipas fan and watching this guy move around the court and his ATHLETICISM and POWER and all around game, I became a fan during that 5 set win over Tsitsipas. Of all the young guys coming up in the game right now, Alcaraz has more potential to become a mega star than any of them. He will win at least 10 Slams in his career. He's just A MAY ZING!!!
Take it easy man. I love Alcaraz's game too, but to win 10 Slams is something very different.
@@caiopavani5413 Ummm, I'm VERY aware of that and I still believe he WILL. ;-)
@@Icandoitifiwant I really hope you are right! ;)
I was at the match too-amazing atmosphere. Very conflicted because I’m definitely a fan of Stef too, but it felt like a historic moment and I loved the result. I gave up amazing grandstand first row tickets to stick it out lol.
I reckon Carlos will surpass Rafa's victories!
He already did it. Won the US Open and earned world number one
So happy as a fan of his
I hope he wins the US Open today, rooting for this guy!
Thanks man he did it
He’s already smashed his goal for this year, top 32!
8 May 2022 after winning Madrid 1000 he was ranked 6th!
And now he has smashed his lifetime goal.
Smash 2021 and 2022 goals
that pure smile doesn´t lie
I love him...such a beautiful man...good luck, carlo
Our new GOAT has arrived 😀
Well, his wishes have come true; both of them, at once! Spectacular kid! Will be rooting for Carlitos all the way! Vamos!
Unbelievably incredible ......the best part is his personality...so likeable....juar tge kid next door who could be any mother's son ❤
And now he wins the 2nd most prestigious ATP Masters event on the tour. Future Legend
He’s such a joy to watch … this kid makes me so happy!
Same
Woah looking back now, Carlos' team has been with him for so long, no wonder they're so tight knit and such a strong supportive team that's always there to help him through tough moments in matches. Vamos 🔥
Yup
Glad that Zverev-Ferrero partnership ended soon because of Zverev's lack of time discipline.
Ferrero was free and he picked Alcaraz and now we're here 🥳👍🏽
Seeing Ferrero talk brings back all the memories of when I was rooting for him in that FO final. God bless you, JCF 😍
you are talking about the wrong guy! LOL David Ferrer was coaching Zverev briefly, and Alcaraz is coached by Juan Carlos Fererro! Fererro is a Grand slam winner and ex number 1! Ferrer, on the other hand, never won a slam and only 1 masters! Not particularly a fan of zverev, but get your facts right! surprised 5 people liked your comment so far, meaning they also agree and mistaken!
No, not only Ferrer but Ferrero trained Zverev
@@minguyen2589 PK’s right, Ferrero did coach Zverev for a short time. Ferrer afterwards.
Whatever the reason, it was meant for Ferrero to coach Alcaraz. So far, they are doing well together.
@@minguyen2589 that's a bit embarrassing, isn't it?
Charlie is lucky to have a coach like Juan Carlos they seem to be a good fit.
Dream Came true👏👏
And he just got his first Grand Slam and world no.1! Just wow.
Yup
Federer was right when he said that you should never put someone up on a pedestal before they're ready. No pressure, vamos Carlos!
Yea
Well Alcaraz's level and ranking is above that of Federer for the same age.
I thought it was Alcaraz’s goal, lol...I guess it’s their goal 😊.
@@huzcer That is true of many players, though. Federer wasn't really an early starter. He needed a few years before be blew up.
@@Molybdaenmornell yes. Alcaraz is 4 years ahead of Federer in terms of play
cuantas alegrías nos vas a dar Carlitos.
Подарил👏👏👏
Carlos is my favorite player on the tour. I so hope he continues to get better and better and rise in the rankings. Eventually he will be #1 and will win Grand Slams. I am certain of it!
Ding ding he’s my fav too
Youngest number one ever in history the us open champion 2022. Best teenager since nadal 2005 and oozes next gen goat aura. Something u never got from Zverev gen
Yup
Dude is the complete package, and he seems to have a good head on his shoulders as well. I really hope he stays healthy, because I think that is the only thing standing in the way of him winning double-digit majors.
A beautiful, delightful, heavenly, talented & humble upcoming super star in tennis!
I'd just like to go on record that 9 months ago, after watching Alcaraz beat Tsitsipas at the U.S. Open I predicted what is now happening when he was still ranked 148 in the world and nobody knew who he was. :-)
People knew him when he beat Ramos Vinolas at the age of 16😂
@@jamescordennnnn Who the hell is Ramos Vinolas?
@@Icandoitifiwant a spanish clay specialist, hangs around top 50 range for most his career
Fantastic young man
I just saw his interviene in route to the semis. Besides already a great player, he is likeable, down to earth and a cool Nice guy
this aged well
It takes a good coach to bring out the best in a player. Thank you coach Juan Carlos for discovering Alcaraz. Love the energy, enthusiastic and excitement this kid brings to every game. Is this the next Nadal?
Carlos will be even GREATER than Nadal!
@@miaash3870 I honestly don't think anyone can be greater than Nadal. I hope Carlos prove me wrong.
@@soulmate805 There is something so adorable about this gifted young man!
I love how Alcaraz fiddles with Zverevs t-shirt at 7:06
yo his eyes lowkey nice
Ya eres grande Carlitos!
Quien te vea jugar descubrirá lo fácil que es amar este deporte!
Gracias mil!
👏👏👏👏vamos carlitos we all want same
He actually did it! Prophecy.
Congrats on his first grand slam! The sky is now the limit!
Yup
You are doing awesome Carlos! 🥳🏆🥇 you will win a Grand Slam sooner than you think. Keep believing, keep the passion 🎾
I’m liking these NextGen profiles
This aged well.
Zverev talked really nice about him
They are friends
Carlos is a total player physically and very strong mentally. His ability to switch from defense to offense effortlessly makes him a great counter puncher. I think he will have a good run in the remaining slams of the year.
Yup
For sure he will be world number 1 in 3-4 years time
He is top 1 now. Just after 10 mons.😂
L
@@nidiousity22
He proved me wrong but I’m happy for him that it happened so early and make history
Looks like he has a very good attitude, drive and a great coach in Ferrero to guide him.
This kid is exciting! Glad to see his growth during last year. He plays semifinals against Nadal today at Indian Wells,I won't miss this match
May be both...he said🙂
Good job Carlos! You did it 👍
And look where he is now
As at 8 November he’s already ranked 32nd. So he’s achieved Ferrero’s goal. Congrats.
It’s happy whenever someone wins a tournament and lifts the champion trophy. But it’s even more touching to see the emotions of the coach and the tears of joy welling in hie or her eyes.
Yup
And now he has won the Miami Open a masters 1000
Now he’s #1 USO champ
this kid is a born talent for tennis,
There is no doubt that he will be very successful in the future.
but it needs time.
He's so good, and seems so sweet and humble. Love to watch him play. I wish him the best.
Yup
His current level is already very good but my god the rate he has been improving at week after week is just insane.
I have never seen a player improve so quickly and at this rate I truly expect him to win his first slam by 2023 latest.
Djokovic is almost unbeatable on grass and Medvedev/Zverev will be a force on hard courts in the next 5-6 years. I think Alcaraz will be top-8 next year and could even be top-3 by 2023, but winning a slam will be hard against those guys. Let's see how far he goes in RG next year, I thin that's his best chance.
@@jessyjohaug7392 He will be very good on clay but he will be even better on hard and grass (if he gets his footwork right). He has every shot in the book and likes to attack and finish points at the net, incredible pace off both wings with touch. His serve can hit 134 mph but obviously spot serving takes time. mental focus and staying healthy will be key. He is incredibly complete in all aspects
@@jessyjohaug7392 5 months later and this comment didn't age well. Med and Zverev are on decline, they've reached their peak. Alcaraz is above them in game.
@@joser1853 don't count anyone out just yet. Tennis needed an Alcaraz right now. Everyone was getting a little too comfortable, even Djokovic. Everyone's aim will now be to beat Alcaraz. That's a lot of pressure on a 19 year old. After Fed, Nadal - Alcaraz my favourite so I hope he can cope with the pressure coming his way at RG.
@@ksc743 He's already shown to do extremely well under pressure. He's got the mental fortitude only the big three have had recently, he'll be fine. Meanwhile players like Zverev and Med are literal mental midgets.
This aged so well.
Really well
7:05 Zverev in Acapulco 2021 : he's somebody that's 17 yo everybody's looking at him right now he's playing incredible tennis, my guess that he's going to be top 10 by 2024.
2 years later beats him in Madrid's final and he's already world nº 6. What an amazing player !
Now #1
Producer: "What do you want to do in tennis?"
Alcaraz: "To win a Grand Slam or to become the No. 1 in the world."
Oh you can have both things, you know?
I absolutely enjoyed this profile. We learn a bit more about a future champion of tennis.
Carlos is bringing back attack tennis like Roger and i hope he becomes next gen goat. Not a pusher goat who just grinds.
Yup so happy
Love the video. Great to see the interviews and the background. Interesting how UMAG has one hardcourt. Go Carlito! What an inspiration, already achieving both of his goals.
And here we are... tomorrow has the chance to do both (win the slam and be no.1) at the same time! How amazing is that...
Yup
And ... He did both
Now already number 6!!! No one would believe that when this video was made.
Que bueno ver que Carlos esté muy bien arropado y aconsejado por su equipo. Suerte y gran futuro Carlos! 🤜🏽💪🏽
Zverev: Top 10 by 2024.
Carlos: #1 by 2022.
Zverev has the best career outside grand slams after Agassi, Sampras, big 3 and Murray.(5 Masters 1000, 2 ATP Finals, 1 Olympic Gold)
@@chamindujanith6337 Zverev says in this video, that Carlos will be top 10 by 2024. But he achieved #1 already
@@VigneshDhakshinamoorthy Yeah but I'm just pointing out how successful Zverev has been outside Grand Slams.
@@chamindujanith6337 oh yes he is making till the semi and even the finals but gets too tight on the important moments. He has all the skills and discipline, long overdue for a slam.
Carlos has goals and he work hard for it, then his talent, perseverance and determination , he got his wish and still continue growing in every level. He’s with his team who’s humble and behind him thru and thru. Every level may he win or lose, he never give up. I guess he believed and Juan Carlos give him the talk about you are S good as your last performance, so there’s always something new in his game.
His forehand is really powerful, best luck for this guy and hope him could achieve his dream👊
He did
He will be No 1 soon
Very soon!
