Nadal comments on Alcaraz's precocity: "He is on track to have a unique career"
There is no longer anyone in the sports world who is not amazed by the numbers of Carlos Alcaraz at the age of 22. Not even those who have built the most impressive careers, such as Rafa Nadal. The Spaniard, in remarks collected by RNE, made the following statements about the young Murcian.
"The career seems to be heading towards something unique, hopefully it will be very long, which is what he needs to reach certain numbers. Hopefully, injuries will be respectful to him and everything will go great for him. At the moment he has six Grand Slams, but let's not get carried away with these things. Six Grand Slams is an incredible number, but hopefully, he can win as many as possible," commented the 14-time Roland Garros champion.
🗣️ "The career seems to be heading towards something unique (...) Having someone like him (Alcaraz) in Spain helps us to be a reference country in the world of tennis"
