He isn’t the next Nadal, He is the first Alcaraz Garfia. Just like Sinner isn’t the next Djokovic and Musetti isn’t the next federer
You are absolutely right, I just click the video to make the same comment.
you put it that way it sounds like they are
Nobody compared musetti to Federer lol... there won't be player that will move or play like that...just because of one hand you can't be a Federer.
@@pareshmathew1596 Yeah trust me, I have seen a lot of comparisons between Musetti and Gasquet but also a few with Roger
Big3 is once in a life time. Playing one handed backhand doesn't make you the next Fedex. Playing well on clay doesn't make you the next Rafa. And playing like a wall with the solid defensive style doesn't make you the next Nole.
You just can't be compared to one who has 20 GS victories. No way.
Let Alcaraz and Musetti and Sinner grow in peace.
5 months later, he beats an in form World number 3 Tsitsipas in a 5 set tiebreaker. Its insane.
Tsitsipas is definitely not in form.
He lost form after the family loss he had after Wimbledon.
He tries to get back in form after that brrat in training and the mourning after which he came to Wimbledon to lose first match, and then lost in a small tournament from a Serbian, and then slowly starting to trying to get back form, but fighting 2 weeks with Greek media and Greek politicians with fighting on whether people should do vaccination, and then getting at the same time the if he goes to toilets issue and affects his try to get back to form.
He was in form up to Wimbledon.
Now Zverev and Medvedev are in form.
Not to say or deny the great player Alcaraz is, and Tsitsipas said he will be contender of grand slam titles. But Tsitsipas is definitely not in form since some months
And Alcaraz is very different player from Nadal.as he also said closer to Federer than Nadal, although that still different since Fed was always very much below his level on clay, while Alcaraz has trained alot on clay, as Spaniards usually do.
He is gonna be the most insane player to watch in our new generation
7 months later he already defeated top 10 players, Sinner, and won the ATP NextGen.
4 months later hes rank 11
6 month later he won the Madrid open playing in the quarter finales of Roland Garros and is 6 in the world
It's gonna be fun watching a Alcaraz v Musseti rivalry.
With Sinner makes the next big 3 🤣
@@jimnosnow4484 Yeah after Medvedev, Rublev, zverev and tsitsipas retire
I can’t see Sinner being as despised as Djoko.
@@hsy2448 lmao wtf Who exactly is he despised by ?
@@crab_striker1961 exactly idk, but in the situation sinner is the djokovic so he’s supposed to be hated by a lot of tennis fans.
Watching this after he just beat Tsitsipas at us open. The guy is world class. Will win multiple grand slams. Looks like a mix between Novak & rafa with a Murray drop shot thrown in as icing on the cake!
2:10 thats a video from my channel, thx for including it : )
thanks for your videos. It seems to me that you were correct in your opinion. I think he looks like Rafa Nadal in terms of his human values, but this ... Carlos ... is pure dynamite. A hug
This guys looks like Karen Khachanov with no beard
I like all your logic MAN👍🙏
HE JUST KICKED TIPTIPS ASS IN US OPEN / THE NEW YORK CROWD AND NEW FANS AROUND THE WORLD LOVED HIS STYLE / THERE ARE SHIMMERS OF NADAL IN HIM - GOOD FOR TENNIS 🎾
Being associated as the next Nadal will hurt his game. Unrealistic expectations.
Great vidéo, great Chanel
Not a bad call. The most impressive thing I've seen today against Tsitsipas
So many unknowns: desire, tactics, IQ, pressure, etc. Nadal's desire is herculean. There is one Nadal every 30-40 years. Just letting the phrase "He's the next Nadal!" slip from one's lips is lunacy. Peace out!
If there is one Nadal every 40 years, who was the last Nadal?
@@iannovak5223 borg?
@@bibek6713 So Borg's Desire and Ambition and Willingness to fight was as great as Nadal's? The dude gave up on Tennis after getting beaten by John in 3 straight finals. Borg is not even close to Rafa in those categories.
@@iannovak5223 good point
Nadal in 40 yrs?? U kidding? Nadal comes once in a 100 years

The future rivalry between ALCARAZ / MEDVEDEV / TSITSIPAS / SINNER / SVEREV / THIEM / AUGER-ALIASSIME / SHAPOVALOV / MUSETTI / RUBLEV / AND MANY OTHERS YOUNG PLAYERS LIKE HUMBERT, TIAFOE... WILL BE FANTASTIC
You don't think Tsitsipas has a future?

Nice Analysis
I hope they dont overhype him and destroy his carrier we see this happenin with a lot of young players.
After watching Marbella I can see the parallels but he's pretty darn good!
Alcaraz is now n°1 with a GC and talking about his serve, he just served 8 aces in the last set of the US open champion...
it takes a lifetime to find another Rafael Nadal.
A little dangerous to compare a young guy to Nadal, Federer or Djokovic. Most of all I don't think we'll ever see another Nadal. Remember, he likely ends up with 12+ FO titles, when 6 was the record before he came along. That's a 100% increase of the previous record and highly unlikely to ever be repeated... Think about it... In order to do that one has to win 24 FO titles :-)
Creo sin duda que va a ser top 5. Decir top one es muy dificil pero posibilidades tiene.
Well he is in the US Open Quarter Finals now.
I just subscribed. 😁

Remember this. There is no next Rafa, Fed or Djoker

I assume people are saying he's going to be the next Nadal because he's from Spain? But, the interview I saw with the kid he said his style was more like Roger's and that his game is more modeled after Roger than Nadal - which I found funny since the kid's from Spain. He said he liked to be very aggressive, play all court and hit a lot of winners. Nobody has ever accused Nadal of being the most aggressive player around. LOL! I've seen the kid play a couple of times and obviously he's only 17 and needs to grow into his body. He's listed as 6'1" but players are just so tall and powerful today growing few inches wouldn't hurt his chances of being in the top 10. Just don't be like Sascha Zverev with a booming first serve and Venus Williams' second serve. Meow! Seriously...Zverev really needs to do something about that 2nd serve...
Overall, these guys are so young that saying they'll be top 10 in 1-3 years is putting the cart ahead of the horse. Look at FAA and Shapo. FAA in particular has the game but hasn't put it all together yet because once you get into the top 20 the talent level increases 10-fold. And the reality is - in 2-3 years when Roger, Rafa and Novak are all retired or playing a lot less the sport is going to naturally open up for all of these guys who are currently in their early-to-mid 20s to win some Slams. These young guys are going to have to be exceptional talents in order break through.
Yeah your last point is very true - you can be super talented, but actually winning multiple Slams even AFTER Djokovic and Nadal have faded (Roger already has, let's be honest) means beating the very top guys head-to-head under the most intense pressure. Guys like Sinner and Rublev are already showing the pure talent, but are still behind the likes of Medvedev, Thiem, Tsitsipas, and Zverev, and even that group is still having a hard time dislodging mid-30s Nadal and Djokovic. It's a tough, tough battle.
He can't really get taller and I think 6 1 is okay. I mean look at fed and djoko there both in the 6 foot to 6 2 range
@Jolly Molly Agree💯. Also: to be successful you have to be yourself and working with your own body and abilities, it's not about copying someone's playing style, tactics etc. What's mostly forgotten: nowadays all are so distracted by social media stuff and this will cut off your focus in important moments and times. The upcoming players are interesting, yes, but they won't be that dominant over such a long time as Federer, Rafa and Djokovic who won important titles and even Grand Slams before their 20th bday.
@@grimson True👍🏼. Medwedew isn't that constant and struggling with his temper and mindset. Tsitsipas is a gem but won't give his last shirt if it comes to torture your body and even health - there's also another life than tennis, he's an inspiring intellectual intelligent human and player tho. Thiem has it all if there weren't the big3 but he's already the prince of clay and a hard challenge on hard court. Rublev is very talented and has period but won't be lasting. Zverev is too impressed by himself imho but he's young and can work it out. Sinner is highly talented and devoted and determined, but imho there's a lack of bite, and he has to work on his fitness level and endurance, although he's really special. Like all these diversities and variety of players👌🏼🎾. Tennis is so inspiring.
I ve seen him play when he was 15 and younger and everybody were sure that he had the potential. He needs an incisive mentality like the big 4, thiem, medvelev and rublev. If not he will be like the rest of the top 50, supertalets to counftable with their ranking.
Ure so right what many people don't really get is that anybody in the top 50 (I would say even in the top 100 or 200) is extremely talented, and the difference between say Benoit Paire rank 33 and Rublev or Medvedev is not so much on talent but rather on mentality, discipline etc...you know that guys like Pospisil or Sandgren look like they are mostly hard workers that needed to give their all to get there; but they are actually extremely gifted players and sure they are more working bees than the Kyrgios, Paire & Bublik type, but still not have the consistency of their delivery to get to the top 20 less so to the top 10. And then of course you have the big 3 which are truly from another dimension.
@@ManuelCocco something that amazes me is that all the top 100 players have been the best of their generation. For example Alcaraz in spain since he was six has always been the best. And all the players are like that. But then they reach the top 100 the atp tournoment and they just fight for mantain themselves there no ambicion for winnig every tournoment. For example Verdasco and feliciano are out of therse world players and they've spent the last ten years winnig the minimun to stay in the top 100. It depends on the mindset at that level.
Mindset>talent
@@kikmen1 I would say talent>mindset. Without talent mindset is worthless.
It goes both ways.. you can have all the talent in the world but it doesn't matter because you're more interested in cocaine and hookers..and you're career is over before it even started
He 'looks' like a mix of Roger, Rafa, Novak, and Sampras. His face is like an amalgamation of all their faces. 😀
As to whether he'll be able to replicate their success, we should probably go easy with those predictions. Alcatraz can consider himself fortunate if he can win as much as Ferrero did. That in itself is a pretty decent tennis career, and I'm sure he'll have plenty of fun along the way and make decent money.
I don't think these comparisons do any good for the players. They just expose our craving for sensationalist stories tbh
Alcaraz is his own man. His game is like a mix of Federer (ability to generate pace) and Djokovic. His defensive skills and mentality are like Rafa / Djokovic. He can serve at 134 mph but can improve it, as well as the low slice, volleys, net game. Scary to think how good he can get. He is more complete than Rafa and Novak were at his age. I hope he stays injury free. In my opinion, he will be more successful on hard courts though his firepower will absolutely help him on clay.
Hi, I think he will become a Top Player, he seems to have the skills and will
To be the next Nadal, he has to dominate CLAY. Nadal built his career based on this surface. Carlos hasn’t shown that kind of domination this far.
Well Rafa started to dominate at 19. So we will see how he does once he ages
GIVE THE YOUNG GUY A CHANCE..WAIT AND SEE HE WILL SHOCK YOU ALL!!
Hi definitely is................ He is a Monster!
Prediction is coming true👍
He isn’t lefty to begin with so how will he be Nadal?
This aged well
I feel for anyone who gets that comparison. I do think he'll have a solid career if he can avoid listening to the inevitable Rafa comparisons. Alcaraz's game already seems more developed than Munar (who was the last to be pegged as the next Spanish hope and hasn't really developed as even a clay specialist on the ATP level).
Why isn't he playing at the Monte Carlo Open now?
Ranking. He has shot up so fast that it becomes tougher to plan the schedule. He got WCs for Barcelona and Madrid.
I feel that alcatraz will peck closer to his 20's because if he is somewhat like nadal he will push himself at such a young age to be the best he can be on all surfaces similarly to nadal at his young age when he started winning slams and titles
Have been hearing next nadal,next roger..... till now nobody was even close
There is and will be only one Rafael Nadal. The real one who is the best tennis player of all time. And Alcaraz is the first Alcaraz who can win a few Slams maybe
Rafa has 20 Slams, and he plays with 2 other players that have 20 Slams (or going to have anyway). Realistically should there is no other 2, any of the three should have around 25 or more now.
I’m sure this dude is talented, calling anyone the next Rafa or Novak or Roger is frankly ridiculous
21❤️
Let the records speak for themselves. No need to overhype on the next gen...
His forehnd resembles more of a Fed kinda shot
who is here after Alcaraz defeated tsitsipas?
This is the guy that played with zverev s t shirt😂😂😂
It is hard to tell whther he is gonna be at the top ten or not. As u have already mentioned, his acceleration is superb, that is his main weapon along with grear dropshots. Serving fast is crucial nowadays and so far his service is just average, so he should focus on that too... Most of the next generatoon players serve like masters, really fast and precise. He will pronably base his game in being aggressive, precise, and creative.
and... alcaraz won sinner yesterday, who is already into the top ten. things seem to happen quickly for these guys.
Reaching top 10 by 2024 said Zverev ... He always put himself on there... I think the time is already here guys. Peace
He has unreal movement and thats about it. I'd say he is almost as fast as prime rafa but does not have the strength and tactics.
Generations of the big 3:
- Federer, Nadal, Djokovic
- Thiem, Medvedev, Tsitsipas
- Sinner, Musetti, Alcaraz

The order is wrong though
Federer,Nadal, Djokovic
Tsitsipas,Thiem, Medvedev

Wait and watch. I m not opening my cards yet.

He needs that breakthrough slam. That is his next hurdle
Maybe RG this year???
@@hsbdbsjsjebbdbsbsb370 Slams are a different beast from other tournaments. He seemed to lack focus today, especially in the first two sets. Lots of unforced errors. I’m still excited by him. Hopefully not too long until he is lifting a slam trophy.
@@franriding6473 I was so sad when he lost 😩
Any here after he beat the world no :3
compare any player with the 3 all time best tennis player in history is a huge mistake
This kind of comparisions can only make a negative impact, never a positive one on the player.
He has beaten Tsitsipás in five sets in this US OPEN with a difference between the two of them of about 50 spots in the ranking. Lets talk about this kind of things better.
Is Alcaraz from Basque?
Basque is a language, not a place.
It seems to me that they were wrong, as of September 11, 2022, it is already No. 1
One of the reason people might not bother subscribing to your channel is that you spend so long talking about subscribing to your channel.
So, he's not a clay court specialist, has a weak serve, and spends a lot of time playing aggressively, rushing to the net etc. Remind me why you would be suggesting any comparison with Nadal...other than him being Spanish.
The next Nadal plays like Novak
Canadian Lad
Don't compare Nadal to anyone.
It’s funny coming back to this video in 2023 saying you think Alcaraz will become big in a couple years and 1 1/2 years later, he is the youngest world no 1 ever and already has a grand slam
Top 10 by 2024? How about world number one and a grand slam winner in 2022? Something Zverev himself is yet to achieve... I mean Carlos is just insane
So sad how u never made a video on Coco Gauff
Reminds me more of juan carlos ferrero.
It is very ungrateful for young talents to be compared to the stars of the game. Comparison add unnecessary pressure.
1:00 video starts here. Thank me later
Forecasting young players as the next legend (Fed, Nadal, Novak) is toxic and unfair, which many people agree about yet the media continues to do it to create clickbait. The delta between the physical ability of the top 15, whether 20 years ago or today is relatively small. What separates the legends and everyone else is the mental game. Alcaraz is supremely gifted physically to compete with the top players in the world at 17, so hopefully that under the tutelage of a former #1 he will achieve great things.
He's good but Nadal at his age had beaten the world no. 4 and the world no. 1 and had won 1 ATP title, and one year later, he won 4 tournaments in a row (2 masters, 1 500 and one grand slam), he won 11 titles in the season where he was 18/19 (2005). Alcaraz has no chance of equalling this, so he isn't the next Nadal. My guess is a maximum of 8 slams in his career.
He is being compared to Nadal because Nadal is the inspiration for all spaniards. Alcaraz covers court well and wins some points from losing positions in rallies just as Nadal used to do. Other than that there is no similarity in their styles. Alcaraz is right handed, does not have insane top spin and has a very attacking game compared To Nadal. Both are good when they get to the net and Alcaraz uses drop shots more and better than Nadal did at his age. Alcaraz needs to improve his serve and return to be able to beat top guys like Medvedev, Tsitsipas, Novak, Nadal, Sinner, Musseti and Zvarev. That's an area he has to work on.
WE ALL KNOW NOTHING..CARLOS WILL SUPRISE US ALL AND MAKE HISTORICAL CHANGES..LETS WATCH
its clear they compare him because he have a ink game to the one from Rafa
There won't be another Nadal.. Very true but comparing with another player may be a bad idea provided he enters a match with heavy burden already (comparison with Nadal here) other than the match pressure hindering his performance.. He can be one of the best upcoming players provided his attributes on court.. As expectation leads to disappointment it's a bit far to compare and expect him or any upcoming player with the Big 3 .. I mean come on.. They have their capabilities.. Alcaraz and other upcoming future giants may beat the record of 20 Grand slams(fingers crossed) and other records. So let's just hope he's getting better year after year to compete the big stage.. As far his performance is concerned let him come up and prove his capability.. Maybe he'll become better than Nadal or Federer or Djokovic who knows..
What about Ruusuvoori? I see Sinner & Ruusuvoori one step ahead of Alcaraz and Musetti....but these 4 have most def top ten potential...from that to compare any of them with any of the big three, well I think you can't start doing that even with any of the current Thiems and Medvedevs, at least until they win 5 or 6 slams in 2 or 3 different places.
No one talks about Ruusuvoori for some reason
Yeah he’s kinda good beat Novak at wimby
... next Nadal? ... is so easy to say it... Nadal, Federer, and Nole are from another galaxy, after them, the tennis world will be dull for quite a while.
I practice with Carlos a few weeks ago he’s a really good player but you can’t compare him with Nadal. I lost 7-5 6-3 played the best tennis of my life but he has to win against me 6-0 6-0.
I agree with you man I also trained with him and I fucked him up

Alcaraz is a good player.
More than this nobody knows , only the time can saids if will be number one or one player more.
Ferrero like much the money and train him i imagen that he see something especial in this player
he looks like lamelo ball
Then they are wrong because he is not the next Rafael Nadal. He is Carlos Alcaraz, y punto.
Well, this just proves the point I was making on 'Why Novak does not have fanbase' video. Had this kid been from Serbia no one would've heard about him till he wins a grand slam at least. But he's Spanish so here we are talking about him for no bloody reason at all and comparing him with Rafa. Like straight Rafa. I mean this channel sounds like being run and written by a teenager.
Edit: Just stick showing highlights and collections only please. These are juvenile opinions otherwise.
It is what it is
Just a click bait.
Saw him play after hearing he was the "next Nadal" Hate to say it but his game didn't impress me at all. Obviously still young, but sometimes those generational talents just have an "IT factor" when you see them play even at a young age, you just know they're going to be something special. Saw it with Rafa back in 04-05. Just don't see it with this kid
Same here. He just seems like a very good player but I don't see that special "spark" in him.

No one will be the same as Nadal, Djokovic, or Federer. It’s very dumb that you guys consider calling them “the next Nadal” or “the next Federer” or “the next Djokovic.” All three are the GOATS, and NO ONE in the history of tennis will be better than those three.

@@bsrussian apparently you don’t watch a lot of tennis. It’s not only about their grand slams. It’s also about their tennis records that they have made that no one in tennis history ever will. Take for example: Nadal’s 100-2 Roland Garros wins. No one in tennis history will ever beat that, at least not for a very long time if ever. These are one out of many tennis records that these three have made, and it’s pretty dumb to just think that someone will be better than them because they might win more majors than the big 3.
