His physicality is breathtaking. To hit the ball consistently that hard is just pure warrior like. But the mental fortitude to fight against all odds is what makes him so special and exciting to watch. And to think that he's only 19 his ceiling for improvement is off the charts. Excited to see how his future folds ❤️
Really looking forward to the next 15 years from this young man. His game looks like a wonderful mix of Roger's attacking and touch with Rafa's power and defense. He's already so advanced in managing pressure and his emotions. Now he's reached the top of the game, and he can only get better with more experience. Truly special and will be so much fun to watch.
i feel like all players have that magic point early in their career, that point that is nearly impossible to replicate, that point that just defines their level. No matter how many crazy points Carlos Alcaraz makes in his career, to me personally, this is it 6:55

Alcaraz is capable of so much more. It's scary. To think of it, when the Big 3 won their first slam, there were clear areas to improve on in all of their games. Federer - backhand consistency, Rafa - net play + serve, Novak - net play + overhead! Alcaraz looks like the complete player already. But naturally players will find a way to play against him and make him adapt further and change his game when required, but he can achieve greatness with his Rafa attributes (humility + hardwork)
The amazing thing is, the kid actually fought through his way up at the top like a dream run. Even if he fails to perform in the next 10 years, he'll still be loved. The absence of big 3 was inevitable, be it covid, injury or age.
You mean just like when Djokovic beat both Roger and Nadal in every single tournament until he became number 1? That's a bit more special than winning your first slam without anyone even playing it.
I remember vividly watching these Rio highlights and being instantly drawn to the kid. I'm no genius, the commentators were all saying he might be the next big thing. Seeing it was believing it instantly. I've watched almost all of his highlights / matches ever since and it was clear he was ultra special and a future number 1. He was instantly on the fast track. A prodigy. I've enjoyed the ride the last 2 and a half years. Gotta be honest even I didn't think he would get where he is this fast. Nadal and Djokovic (and Zverev) had unfortunate seasons so there was some luck involved clearly. But let's see now what he does with his new status. It's gonna be a heavy target to carry. Good luck Carlos.

@@kaboomroom33 It's like you don't remember that Zverev beat Alcaraz at RG just before getting injured. Also, beating an in form Rafa or Novak in a 5 setter is a completely different story. He would not have been favorite against either, rightfully so.
I don't think any of the Big 3 brought me as much joy as this kid here... The way he plays is so incredibly artistic and athletic and full of surprises! I get the feeling that even someone who doesn't normally follow tennis would enjoy watching him play. ¡Vamos Carlitos!
Tennis with Alcaraz is never boring. He wins or loses on his own terms, not by waiting for the opponent’s mistakes. He goes for the winners. Extremely great at both defense and attack. He is a joy to watch.
He is so childlike, still so serious about his game and so full of respect for everyone he plays, and so charming, and that smile! If I were 20 I would fall in love with him 😂 but too late now😂
Greatest teen player to emerge since nadal 2005 and dare I say better as teen than other big three members as teen. And he plays attack tennis like Roger. Life is food😭🤑
What an incredible season and amazing wins over top opponents he's had. His coach (JCF) thinks his current level is still only 60% of what he's capable of.
I still have memories of watching footage of Nadal playing a match when he was 14 yrs old. Can't remember what the event was or even if it was a competitive match but it has really stuck in the memory. I remember thinking I had never seen a player play so aggressive. It was a brand of tennis I had never seen before. Even aggressive players including Nadal himself who has adapted his game since he was a raw 14yr old, generally work themselves into rallies before picking the right moments to really unleash on the forehand or backhand but that 14yr old Nadal was ripping every single ball, hitting it so hard with so much top spin. It was absolutely savage. The impressive thing about it was how few errors he was making. Playing so aggressively is high risk which usually leads to mistakes but he was making so few. Right there I thought this a special freak player who could be an all time great of the game. I get the same feeling watching this kid Alcaraz. I never thought I would see a player quicker around the court than Djokovic. Alcaraz movement and speed is ridiculous. He is so exciting to watch and is saving tennis for me right now. As a huge Federer fan, his absence from the tour over the last year and his recent retirement announcement has almost lost tennis for me but in Alcaraz there may just be a reason to continue watching! I just hope he can keep his great team around him to keep him grounded and that he can stay clear of injury which could be a tough ask given his style of play.
We realize the mentality of Carlos Alcaraz when we compare the defeat of Alexander Zverev, (in the final of the Master 1000 in Madrid) who found as an excuse the fatigue caused by the late end of his semi-final to explain his crushing defeat in the final against Carlos Alcaraz while Carlos Alcaraz was able to play 3 very difficult matches until late and win the US Open !

The scary thing is that there are segments of his game he could improve on. His serve which is very good could be even more of a weapon. The rest of his game will get better with experience, think about that. He plays such a physical game injuries could be his only pitfall. It will be exciting watching his career going forward. What a gift for the sport!
His coach, Juan Carlos Ferrero, said in an interview that he believes that Alcaraz is still at 60% of his capacity. He still has things to improve, it is understandable he is only 19 years old, but being number 1 at that age is already complete madness.
Cant agree more with you guys. Alcaraz gaining experience while staying healthy for hopefully a very long time would be insane. Could also be very similar to Rafas career, a lot of injuries during the years. But when he played, almost always very competitive with amazing comebacks. Only time will tell, wishing him all the best of course. For the present, I am enjoying the matches of Alcaraz so much, because every rally could be the next "rally of the tournament or year". That is something I have never felt with any player, except Federer. The physical play, insane speed, shotmaking, power and talent are a fantastic combination.
Yes, but we have to take into account the huge factor of luck, because regardless of his perfect game, he could not have reached the number 1 spot so quickly with this number of titles if the fucking ATP had not totally restarted the table, and took away points from all players, where in my opinion a great pity, Djokovic is totally damaged and crippled, and then there are Medvedev and Zverev and Tsitsipas. I mean, I'm not disputing absolutely anything Carlos has accomplished, he's just been insanely lucky to get to #1 so quickly. Everything else is totally earned without the luck factor, and what this kid delivers is fucking magic!
@@lazarbuzargic lets see next year, what excuses are you going to mention, if he is healthy and no arrogant mindset , he will beat anybody, I want to see Aus open vs Novak, and RG vs Rafa, but they are getting old, I wish Carlitos show up 6 years earlier, and we will see brutal matches
I think Madrid this year was the turning point from like a maybe could be good player to an established star, defeating rafa and novak b2b is just obscene
I checked for Nadal and he went from around 500 to 2 (we had GOAT Fed at that time) in 3 years...then another 3 years to get to 1 due to Fed. Djokovic also went from around 500 to 3 (behind Nadal and Fed) in 3 years, then 4 years to get to 1 due to Fed & Nadal.
Since Roger someone entertained me so much with their attacking tennis. Oozes next generation goat vibe and it will be great if we have an attacking player dominating for next fifteen years! No more pushing. Zverev and others in tears
I was busy in May with my daughter on the way. I had no idea he beat two of the big three in one tournament AND went on to win it. He was just one short of a Nalbandian.
Lol you can't just watch highlights and say "this kid doesn't miss anything". Ofc he's not going to miss in highlights hahaha. In fact, his main weakness right now is probably sometimes going for too much and blasting his forehand way out.
@@raymondfan2402 i watched the entire game live so i'm not talking about highlights, yeah he can improve and he will but right now he Is the best player in the world nobody can say the opposite
its a joy and wonderfull when we have the previlege to watsh the best of the bests in any sport doing what they do the best. The best part for me is that they make it look soooooo simple isn´t it ? What a monster...the way that he goes catch some of those impossible balls its unbelieveble to see
His body will break first, his game style it's too physical and unsustainable over time. Injuries will come soon. Although it will certainly break some records.
Carlitos Alcaraz is unbelievable... he is one in a million great tennis players.. i adore him... i am canadian but i still am alway wanting and now he is the youngest no 1 ATP in the world... what an achievement.. woooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Am still very excited for Alcaraz, even though he lost to Novak in the RG Semi’s, so he’s played in three Slams so far and won, one of them US open .last years RG QF this years Semi Final and lost only 4 matches so far this season. Is he someone to look out for? Definitely. As his experience gets better he’ll be incredible
Do y'all remember at the beginning of this year when Zverev stated that "There's a new Big 3: Djokovic, Medvedev, and Zverev?" That shit aged HILARIOUSLY

Amazing montage! Reminds you that the road hasn’t been as quick and easy as it would seem. He’s put in the sweat and tears to get to the #1 world ranking. VAMOS, Carlitos aka my Energizer Bunny Boy!🐰🥰
Unbelievable picks , Good all round player. Great future ,no doubt , should stay healthy and not pick injuries on the way through and stay as world No1 for long .
There is one thing that all the commentators and players agree on: Carlitos is the fastest human they’ve ever seen on a tennis court. It often defies belief. The speed…and the control, strength, and imagination when he gets there. To compete, everyone around him will have to train harder, think faster, and develop an all court game. Next year will be absolutely fascinating. Can’t wait to see Novak face off against the wunderkind in Australia.
ATP Ranking - 1) C Alcaraz, 2) C Ruud, 3) R Nadal, 4) D Medvedev, 5) A Zverev, 6) S Tsitsipas, 7) N Djokovic. New Gen- Alcaraz, Medvedev, Sinner, Zverev, Tiafoe, Kygrios
No matter how much he wins, just watching this guy in action brings so much thrill no other can provide.
I took a position of Djokovic not playing at all. Anyhow, Alcaraz was good for me, making a lot of green, @johnberngal.
Wt abt Nadal?
Just said to my mate 10min ago, he makes we wanna go play straight after watching him, and try any shot I think of😁

So much at a young age. Keep enjoying the game and hopefully write its history.
The scary thing is that there are segments of his game he could improve on. His serve which is very good could be even more of a weapon. The rest of his game will get better with experience, think about that. He plays such a physical game injuries could be his only pitfall. It will be exciting watching his career going forward. What a gift for the sport!
His coach, Juan Carlos Ferrero, said in an interview that he believes that Alcaraz is still at 60% of his capacity. He still has things to improve, it is understandable he is only 19 years old, but being number 1 at that age is already complete madness.
Cant agree more with you guys. Alcaraz gaining experience while staying healthy for hopefully a very long time would be insane. Could also be very similar to Rafas career, a lot of injuries during the years. But when he played, almost always very competitive with amazing comebacks. Only time will tell, wishing him all the best of course. For the present, I am enjoying the matches of Alcaraz so much, because every rally could be the next "rally of the tournament or year". That is something I have never felt with any player, except Federer. The physical play, insane speed, shotmaking, power and talent are a fantastic combination.
It's unbelievably staggering how quickly he has risen.
Spanish tennis is awesome man, nadal and alcaraz are two beasts
I didn't think it would happen this fast...but it did. What a phenom. Blessings Carlitos.
Yes, but we have to take into account the huge factor of luck, because regardless of his perfect game, he could not have reached the number 1 spot so quickly with this number of titles if the fucking ATP had not totally restarted the table, and took away points from all players, where in my opinion a great pity, Djokovic is totally damaged and crippled, and then there are Medvedev and Zverev and Tsitsipas. I mean, I'm not disputing absolutely anything Carlos has accomplished, he's just been insanely lucky to get to #1 so quickly. Everything else is totally earned without the luck factor, and what this kid delivers is fucking magic!
@@lazarbuzargic lets see next year, what excuses are you going to mention, if he is healthy and no arrogant mindset , he will beat anybody, I want to see Aus open vs Novak, and RG vs Rafa, but they are getting old, I wish Carlitos show up 6 years earlier, and we will see brutal matches
@@lazarbuzargic tried to seem like you were on his side towards the end there...
@@lazarbuzargic Luck has nothing to do with Alcaraz's rise in tennis. Phenomenal mental and physical ability has everything to do with his rise.
He is a MONSTER🔥🔥🔥
I think Madrid this year was the turning point from like a maybe could be good player to an established star, defeating rafa and novak b2b is just obscene
Both goat contenders passing over the torch to the one true goat.

This is exactly when he catched my attention :)
He broke so many records on the way to #1 and will continue to do so for a very long time..
All that in 2 years. Congratulations, Vamos Carlitos!! 💪👏
From 406 to no 1 in two and half years….Just crazyy…to maintain that level is going to be the hardest…hope he wins many many Grand slams!
Quita 3 o 4 meses por la pandemia.
I checked for Nadal and he went from around 500 to 2 (we had GOAT Fed at that time) in 3 years...then another 3 years to get to 1 due to Fed.
Djokovic also went from around 500 to 3 (behind Nadal and Fed) in 3 years, then 4 years to get to 1 due to Fed & Nadal.
Since Roger someone entertained me so much with their attacking tennis. Oozes next generation goat vibe and it will be great if we have an attacking player dominating for next fifteen years! No more pushing. Zverev and others in tears
He is surely next big thing, a treat to watch. Contagious smile like Rafa❤
I was busy in May with my daughter on the way. I had no idea he beat two of the big three in one tournament AND went on to win it. He was just one short of a Nalbandian.
Only player to ever beat Nadal and Djokovic in back-to-back matches on clay.
The stunning rise and anointing of the once and future King!
special talent born to play tennis what he enjoys so much
Alcaraz is a beast in tennis 🎾👟
Seeing Nadal and Alcaraz play is a treat to the eyes
This guy is simply umbelievable i mean look at how he plays he has everything like agility, speed, power, volee, service he doesnt miss anything
backhand
@@Emmanuel19994 what are you on about his backhand is very solid
ua-cam.com/video/pwVQoV6drRo/v-deo.html
Lol you can't just watch highlights and say "this kid doesn't miss anything". Ofc he's not going to miss in highlights hahaha. In fact, his main weakness right now is probably sometimes going for too much and blasting his forehand way out.
@@raymondfan2402 i watched the entire game live so i'm not talking about highlights, yeah he can improve and he will but right now he Is the best player in the world nobody can say the opposite
Well done - Carlos Alcaraz 👋👍
its a joy and wonderfull when we have the previlege to watsh the best of the bests in any sport doing what they do the best.
The best part for me is that they make it look soooooo simple isn´t it ?
What a monster...the way that he goes catch some of those impossible balls its unbelieveble to see
He will break several record if he continues
Just broke a big one: youngest ever world number 1
His body will break first, his game style it's too physical and unsustainable over time. Injuries will come soon. Although it will certainly break some records.
@@sin.nombre.porahora Exactly the same was said about Nadal some 10 years ago....
Carlitos Alcaraz is unbelievable... he is one in a million great tennis players.. i adore him... i am canadian but i still am alway wanting
and now he is the youngest no 1 ATP in the world... what an achievement.. woooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Am still very excited for Alcaraz, even though he lost to Novak in the RG Semi’s, so he’s played in three Slams so far and won, one of them US open .last years RG QF this years Semi Final and lost only 4 matches so far this season. Is he someone to look out for? Definitely. As his experience gets better he’ll be incredible
Do y'all remember at the beginning of this year when Zverev stated that "There's a new Big 3: Djokovic, Medvedev, and Zverev?" That shit aged HILARIOUSLY
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤪 A typical Zverev....
Tennis TV should keep this video forever.
unbelievable talent, surely will see more trophies in the future.
Такое чувство, что Алькарас - это Федерер, Джокович и Надаль в одном человеке)))
he got it all a century talent
That shot of Alcaraz at 11:17 in the sunlight after beating Nadal is iconic
Now we need Sinner to up his level a notch; then, we're set for next decade and half.

Amazing montage! Reminds you that the road hasn’t been as quick and easy as it would seem. He’s put in the sweat and tears to get to the #1 world ranking. VAMOS, Carlitos aka my Energizer Bunny Boy!🐰🥰
He will win at least ten
Carlos Alcaraz could be one of the greatest...of the new era....🤗
Glad next gen goat plays attacking tennis like roger. No more pushing
Estou só agora vendo conhecendo melhor a grandeza desse garoto lindo 😍 e genial do tênis 🎾.. Carlos Alcaraz te admiro e te amo ❤️🙏
what a journey! Congrats.
Now also Wimbledon champion !!!🎉
His first ATP win was in Brazil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🔥
I love that nadal and djokovick looked relieved when the lost to alcaraz, what a way to show mutual respect and enthusiasm for the future generation
WOW!!! Insane!!! I have never seen anything like that...I hope that God keeps him healthy because he is one of a kind!! !LONGEVITY!!!
7:00 - That point at Next Gen. Jesus. That is right up there for one of the best points I've ever seen.
What a great job wth the video. It already feels like a script for the movie is in the works!
The new king of the court
You mean
Wimbledon centre court? no
Philippe Chatrier? no
Rod Laver arena? no
@@_MrAvocado_ Check back next year at this time.
Tennis needs those champions. Welcome next gen. Welcome Carlos!
Unbelievable picks , Good all round player. Great future ,no doubt , should stay healthy and not pick injuries on the way through and stay as world No1 for long .

Superb recap!
What a amazing video thanks a lot 🙏🇺🇸
He bageled mannarino when he was 17?? 1:45
will became the player with most grand slam and he will win all the 4 slam in one year
The future is finally here!
There is one thing that all the commentators and players agree on: Carlitos is the fastest human they’ve ever seen on a tennis court. It often defies belief. The speed…and the control, strength, and imagination when he gets there. To compete, everyone around him will have to train harder, think faster, and develop an all court game. Next year will be absolutely fascinating. Can’t wait to see Novak face off against the wunderkind in Australia.
I'm not sure if Djokovic is allowed in Australia ☹
@@24carrot_ Didn't the new health secretary allow it or something?
I love him he is amazing
Now let’s tune in on AlcarazTv
HE IS A GOOD PLAYER. HIS SKILLS QUITE MATCHES WITH ROGER FEDERER & ONE DAY HE WILL BECOME THE BEST PLAYER.💖💖💖
I feel I am watching a bird fly past he is incredible and ultimate respect for the teenager
Went from no 406 to no 1 in 2 years, and hes still under 20 yo.
AND he played three straight five setters before the US Open final. How does he do it?
His forehand reminds me of Prime Federer's insane forehand!
AMAZING JOURNEY 🔥🔥
The feels of Ruud make me think of Federer same goes for Alcaraz and Nadal. 🙏
ATP Ranking - 1) C Alcaraz, 2) C Ruud, 3) R Nadal, 4) D Medvedev, 5) A Zverev, 6) S Tsitsipas, 7) N Djokovic. New Gen- Alcaraz, Medvedev, Sinner, Zverev, Tiafoe, Kygrios
