Lately, Alcaraz has repeatedly admitted that he wants to become one of the best players of all time and he is working hard to achieve this very difficult feat.

In a recent interview with Sport Klub, Australian legend Paul McNamee spoke about Carlitos’ future: “It will take 20 years for someone like Alcaraz to break Novak’s Grand Slam record – it’s not impossible, but it’s unlikely. So in twenty years Novak will be called the best of all time. Forget all personal affinities, his biography is the best. You could argue that the Olympics are not that important, but I don’t think so, I think they were very important, especially for people who claimed that Novak was not the GOAT. It was finally decided in Paris who the GOAT is.

Personally, I never called him the best until the Olympics, I said everyone should finish their career first, but the gold at the Olympics has already cemented Novak’s status. A huge success, not only because of the gold, but also the way he got it – he played a fantastic match against a great tennis player like Alcaraz.”

We have a very complete team, consisting of great players” – Carlos said during the press conference.

It is a week that I needed given the support of my fellow players and the Federation staff. The affection is incredible. In Valencia the atmosphere in every match was incredible. Hopefully, we can play more often here at home. Every time I do it, I enjoy it to the fullest. Valencia is a spectacular city, very beautiful, it deserves to host an ATP tournament again,” he concluded.
