The undeniable greatness of Carlos Alcaraz is starting to spark very rich debates where the big goals no longer seem impossible. Achieving the Career Grand Slam, surpassing Rafael Nadal's previous record, has not gone unnoticed by experts like Álex Corretja. The Catalan, in words alongside Gerard Romero on Jijantes, made it clear that it is possible for Carlitos to break Nadal's records, emphasizing that "we are not rushing" with him. "At 22, Federer and Djokovic had a Grand Slam. Rafa had five... but Alcaraz has seven! He is chasing Borg, Lendl... it is normal to compare him with them", Corretja frankly pointed out, also highlighting Nadal's role in paving the way for Spanish tennis records as a possible inspiration for Carlos.

The former Spanish player, close to both, appeared saddened, stating that he was surprised because he didn't think things were as bad as to lead to this outcome. "In my opinion, there was still juice to squeeze from this relationship; I have the feeling that this shouldn't have ended yet," he remarked.

Alex Corretja analyzed the future of Spanish women's tennis, emphasizing the importance of recovering the best Paula Badosa: "Spanish women's tennis needs Badosa, she is the great standard-bearer, the player with the highest level and personality. Hopefully, she is physically well and finds a good balance to play well both in terms of tennis and mentally. I believe that Paula is a player destined to win a major title, to reach a place where she dreams to be, and she will only achieve this if she avoids injuries and major setbacks. I think, in her mentality, she has always thought and dreamed of achieving something that others cannot imagine, and I believe she is capable," he stated in comments to Eurosport.

Jannik Sinner spoke to Movistar+ after his victory over Auger-Aliassime, chatting with Álex Corretja. So far, nothing out of the ordinary. What surprised was when Corretja asked if he could ask questions in Spanish and Jannik could respond in English or Italian, to which Jannik not only agreed but also made an effort to respond in Spanish, with a more than acceptable level.

Juan Carlos Ferrero spoke to the reporters of Movistar + and chatted with Àlex Corretja after Carlos Alcaraz's victory, his pupil, in the US Open 2025: "I think it is very important to learn from the past, at Wimbledon he didn't quite play his tennis and today we prepared the match in a very specific way, always putting more pressure on him before Sinner. It's very difficult to play so aggressively, but we are very happy with how it turned out. We had to face Sinner's matches better and we succeeded. Yesterday during training, we had a very specific session and after the warm-up, we discussed what needed to be done," he concluded.

He commented the following with Àlex Corretja: "I tried to stay as calm as possible. Before the match, I was nervous, but on the court, I felt very good, as if it were just another match, good on my legs and no nerves.

Carlos Alcaraz spoke to Alex Corretja after defeating Novak Djokovic in the semifinals of the 2025 US Open and mentioned that "playing against Djokovic is complicated due to the aura he carries, he is a legend. Setting that aside is difficult, and I have tried to stay focused. His physical level seemed to drop, and overall, I played well, so I am pleased with that. It will be my seventh final, and I will try to stay as calm as possible. I am not sure yet what I will do, but we will try to keep as calm as possible. Physically, I will try to stay relaxed and will not think about the final until tomorrow night," commented the player from Murcia.
