The former world number 1 that compared Alcaraz with Agassi: “It’s very strange”

Owner of a immeasurable talent and charisma, the Spanish tennis player Carlos Alcaraz (3rd) He still fails to find that regularity so necessary to dominate absolutely in the male circuit, accentuated once again when recently falling into its premiere in Miami 1000 Masters.

Despite its palmraés on the courts Indoor Last February, proclaiming himself in the ATP 500 of Rotterdam, the current champion of Roland Garros and Wimbledon added another unexpected defeat in the state of Florida, United States, after failing in defense of the title in Indian Wells when he yielded in semifinals against the British Jack Draper (7th).

Accustomed to receiving praise constantly, the young Murcia, 21, now had to deal with an accurate analysis of one of the historical ones of the Tour Like the former Swedish player Mats Wilanderwho emphasized his performance in half eurosport: “I think Carlos Alcaraz is going through what Carlos Alcaraz will spend the rest of his career: inconsistencies. He will sometimes make miracles and those miracles will help him win games, and do miracles on different occasions and in the end he will not win the game. “

“Obviously to lose against Jack Draper, as happened, It is very strange for an elite player. Do not miss a set so easily. It does not go back and win another as easily as in the first two. Losing 6-4 in the third against Jack Draper is not a big problem. But I think, in the end, Alcaraz will be quite inconsistent in terms of results. We are accustomed Not to see a former world of the world and probably a future number one to be so inconsistent, “said 33 times crowned at the highest level, seven in Grand Slam tournaments.

In tune, the former leader of the system, since he occupied for 20 weeks, said: “You have to go back to the time of Andre Agassi, when he won tournaments and Grand Slams, and then suffered losses in the first round. Especially in Europe, already on covered or brick dust, and then returned to the United States and won large tournaments and recovered the world number one. I think Carlos Alcaraz’s inconsistencies are there. “

“I think that every time Alcaraz loses a game there are at least five players in the world who say: ‘Well, wait. If he can beat Alcaraz, I can be the next‘. I think it is good for the costumes when he loses, because against Alcaraz many players feel intimidated and think: ‘My God, this guy is much better than me. I don’t think I have any chance of winning, ‘he prolonged the born in Vaxjo, 60, enshrined three times from the Davis Cup.

Finally, Wilander closed his observation about Alcaraz, which lasts details to participate by second edition in the 1000 masters of Monte-Carlo: “Every time it loses that green light on the costumes What tells you: ‘You are ready. You have the opportunity to win this game today. ‘ And I think that is the problem for Carlos Alcaraz. “
