Carlos Alcaraz gave his honest opinion on the Laver Cup

Talking about the Laver cup which will be played in Berlin in a few days, the young Spaniard Carlitos Alcaraz analyzed the merits of the event founded by Roger Federer for Australian legend Rod Laver.

Carlos believes that the Laver Cup, although a competition unlike any other, is an event that should be taken seriously.

“I like it, I’ve always wanted to be part of this tournament and I think this is a serious match“I think we have to represent Europe as best as we can. This tournament has a lot of prestige and winning the Laver Cup is definitely something very big,” he explained.

This tournament will feature some of the best tennis players in the world, although Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic will be absent. Carlitos explained: “Well, it will be fun. We will laugh a lot and I think I will spend time with them without talking about tennis. It will definitely be different and I like different things.”

Speaking about Bjorn Borg’s latest captaincy of Team Europe, Alcaraz said: “He is one of the players who took tennis to the top and I hope to learn a lot from him, he is a legend of tennis and sport in general. My father is also a big fan of his, so being coached by Bjorn Borg will be a very important moment for me, for my career and for my life.”

2024 was a pretty good year for the young Spaniard, who – despite some negative periods – was the main protagonist in the decisive moments of the season, winning Roland Garros and Wimbledon. Not winning the gold medal at the Olympic Games in Paris certainly hurt the young 4-time Grand Slam champion, as did his subsequent defeat in the 2nd round of the US Open.

However, it must be said that in recent days we have seen Alcaraz at ease and smiling during the Davis Cup, where he helped his Spain reach the final in Malaga. A tournament that the Spanish champion plays at home with the aim of winning for the first time the oldest competition for national teams in the history of the sport.
