Perhaps not the most frequent presence on the circuit day-to-day, but Yannick Noah knows how to recognize budding legends and perfectly understands what it means to be a star both on and off the court. Hence, his reflections on Carlos Alcaraz after spending several days with him at the Laver Cup 2025 leave no one indifferent.

He was a rockstar in his time, exuded charisma through every pore, and offered a sublime spectacle. Yannick Noah has reconnected with tennis as the captain of Team Europe at the Laver Cup 2025, adding extra value to the show with his genuine personality and getting to know the world's best players in more depth. He appeared at a press conference after the first day of the competition, alongside Carlos Alcaraz, who has already made a deep impression on him.

"The first thing I did today when talking to Federer was to thank him for giving me this opportunity because I have realized how intense and fun these days are. I am very excited. I didn't know personally most of these players, and I feel that we have had a great connection these days. The energy in the team is fantastic," the Frenchman began before referring to the figure of Carlos Alcaraz, whom he didn't know much about.

Noah has stepped away from tennis somewhat in recent times, but that doesn't prevent him from clearly interpreting what he sees in the Spaniard. "I see in him a good person who loves tennis. I have trained many tennis players and spent time with great players, but he surprised me with how much he loves this sport and how he can convey things on and off the court. He has great tactical intelligence and game knowledge and is a great teammate who cares for everyone," the French captain emphasizes.

"All of us who have dedicated ourselves to tennis find the motivation to get up every day to train, but only a few champions have something extra within them, a drive and a unique strength. That's what I see in him. Carlos Alcaraz seems to me a very special person, a different guy who goes far beyond his tennis abilities. He has a lot to offer and is a great ambassador of our sport, making every effort to attend to people and be kind to everyone," stated Yannick Noah, who aims to kick off his title collection as captain of Team Europe with this Laver Cup 2025.
