The question is that he wins just like Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal. Will he win 20 straws? Is there a great chance to be.”Federer’s success 20 Grand Slams was once considered insurmountable until Rafael Nadal was overwhelmed at the Australian Open 2022. Subsequently, Novak Djokovic set a new record with 24 career owners.

“He was so focused, he did not make many unforced mistakes. If he can serve as today, I don’t think there is some weakness,” Wilander said.“He was as sharp as he was the whole tournament and was too good. He’s still so young – that’s what scary. He has six big companies, back to the world, which is huge for him.”ALCARAZ’s victory helped Alcaraz for the first time to regenerate World Chart No. 1 from September 2023, which labeled its fifth Stint in the best place and a total of 37 weeks.“I thought Jannik Sinner would be upstairs, but Carlos Alcaraz – Wow – when playing well, is really the best player in the world.”“It’s a huge victory. Every day you play the world ranking No. 1. It has it back – and it’s not easy to get it back.”Wilander also appreciated Alcaraz’s character and impact on sport.“He’s good everywhere. He’s so solid, so nice, Niceness is the best part. He’s a great player, but he’s so nice, so modest, so young and having fun. He’s a great ambassador for our sport. He was with the same team because he was very young.”Looking forward, Wilander sees Alcaraz and sinners dominate the future of sport.“They both know that they have a tennis world hands and control it. Every year large slots cut for a very long time.”
