Carlos Alcaraz seeks to add two new great titles in this second half of November, the ATP Finals and the Davis Cupwhich would add to an enviable track record at 23 years old.

The level shown so far by the Murcian tennis player raises debates that seemed impossible, such as, if he would be able to beat the best version of Rafa Nadal at Roland Garros.

“Alcaraz on clay is the best in the world right now, whether he wins Roland Garros or not. In one match, obviously, Alcaraz can beat Rafa. Being five sets and in Roland Garros, on that court, due to history and type of game, I think Rafa would be a favorite. But Alcaraz can perfectly beat Rafa at any given moment. And Sinner too“said Moyà in an interview with CLAY.

“Rafa is superior in the long run. And it is true that If the match goes long with Sinner, Rafa would have a pretty big advantage. With Alcaraz less because physically and mentally he holds up well. Rafa would be a favorite if he played against them, but that doesn’t mean he can’t lose,” added Moyà, who also spoke about his new stage outside of tennis.

“I have found a wonderful life, I am having a great time, I spend a lot of time with my family, with my children, with my wifetraveling with them, having time for myself. In the end, what I have been able to buy has been time. And that is something that I love to enjoy, to do different things. And that’s how I am right now, I don’t know what will happen in six months, in a year. At the moment I can say that I am very calm like this and that in the near future I have no idea of ​​returning to the circuit” he explained.

“Throughout these two years, projects have come to me. Of course, projects and calls have come to me. But Right now I haven’t even delved into conversations with anyone. because in these two years I have been clear that I was not about to return to the circuit,” said the former world number 1.
