David Ferrer confessed in an interview with the SER network about his first experience with Carlos Alcaraz. It happened in Jávea during preseason when Ferrero persuaded him to hit with the young player, who was only 14 years old: "We started training, and I put pressure on him. He handled the first shot, the second one as well, but on the third one, he accelerated. It blew my mind because he was like Nadal. He was 14, and we played a super tiebreak, I won 10-8, but I think he let me win out of respect. I swear he was close to beating me. He's like Nadal but with a different background. He's a tennis genius and a great person."
