Mats Wilander once again made a striking statement. The former tennis player and commentator always delivers all kinds of phrases and opinions that leave no one indifferent, and this time even more so, considering it involves the current world number one, Carlos Alcaraz, and a unique legend, as is Roger Federer.

The Swede took the opportunity in an interview with Eurosport to discuss the impact that his separation with Juan Carlos Ferrero could have on Carlos Alcaraz, as well as the possible names being mentioned as future coaches for the Murcian player. José Morón revealed on PuntodeBreak that a year ago, the top choice for Alcaraz's father was Andy Murray, but for Mats Wilander, the best option goes by the name of Sir Roger Federer.

Mats Wilander and the "perfect" duo of Carlos Alcaraz and Roger Federer

"I think it's very important to have a Grand Slam winner in mind; he already had Juan Carlos Ferrero. And I believe that if you're going to have another Grand Slam voice in mind, that voice should come from a player with a different style. When you talk about Murray and Carlos Alcaraz, there is a similarity in their playing style. But if you take John McEnroe and Carlos Alcaraz, you suddenly see a big change.

Or if you take Stefan Edberg and Carlos Alcaraz, there's a significant difference. Or let's consider Roger Federer, for example. Now, we're talking about someone who could really help Carlos Alcaraz with the aspects of the game he doesn't feel as comfortable with. And I think Roger Federer would be the perfect coach for Carlos Alcaraz."

Did not expect the end of the relationship with Juan Carlos Ferrero

"My first reaction was total surprise because if I have ever seen two people work better together than Carlos and Juan Carlos, I don't know who they are, because they seem made for each other. They always seemed capable of bringing a smile whenever Carlos played. Obviously, they are serious enough for Juan Carlos to have helped Carlitos calm down a bit, to not play crazy tennis, but to play high-performance tennis. So, everything they have done so far seemed like the perfect evolution of a tennis player's career. And suddenly, it's no longer happening."

Believes that Ferrero's absence doesn't affect his tennis, but his routines

"I don't think it will make a big difference in the end because I believe Carlos Alcaraz is too mature. He knows too much about tennis, so I don't think Juan Carlos's absence will hinder his development. But I think it will be a big change because, in the day-to-day, they had to deal with each other every day: in training, in warm-ups, at dinners, at breakfast, in the tennis tournament."

"So, there will be a significant change in daily life. I believe the change when the score is tied 3-3 in the third set, 15-30, and you have to play this crucial point, I don't think that change will make a big difference because, in the end, it's Carlos Alcaraz who makes the main decisions in tennis, but day-to-day life will make a big difference," says a Mats Wilander who longs to see Carlos Alcaraz under the guidance of Roger Federer. Do you think it could happen at some point?
