It would not catch anyone by surprise if we say that the day Carlos Alcaraz is inspired and in a state of genius with his game trending upwards, he is a very difficult tennis player to beat, no matter who you are. Andrea Vavassori experienced one of these versions of the young man from Murcia firsthand yesterday in Rotterdam. The Italian explained what it feels like to play against a 'Carlitos' in this state.

“He has been absolutely impressive,” Andrea started, in words exclusively captured by Ubitennis. “I had played against him last year in Buenos Aires, and maybe there on clay I had a little more time to play, but here he didn't give me any time. He served strong, very strong, over 220 km/h, and I was able to return only 80% of the time. He made very few errors and served very intelligently. I only had one break point, and the only thing I can regret is not making him play, but it's just difficult,” Vavassori analyzed.

The Italian describes how a player at his level can feel when a top player like Carlos takes a step forward and displays his best tennis. “You feel a bit like being under a train. It's difficult to stay in the match. You see everything moving forward. I'm not very used to playing singles, and today it showed. Maybe I could have won a few more points, but beating this Alcaraz is very difficult,” he points out.

Nice words for Alcaraz

Vavassori shares that it has been a great experience to face someone like Carlos and that it will help him in doubles. “Usually, when I play well in singles, it helps me in doubles. It has been an experience that will give me confidence. This result makes me a little more relaxed,” he commented, leaving nice words for Alcaraz. “On the court, he was completely 'on fire'. I don't have much more to say. Off the court, he's a very special guy. I know him well from the Challengers, and he is one of the few who always greets you with a smile. Besides Jannik, who I know better, Carlos is special. It's a pleasure to play against someone like him,” he concluded.
