Carlos Alcaraz
The Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz is one of the most promising tennis players and has already had some memorable matches in his young career.
He is coached by Juan Carlos Ferrero. The teenager Alcaraz is gearing up to mesmerize tennis fans at the 2022 Wimbledon tournament which begins next week.
He received great practice as 3-time Grand Slam winner Stan Wawrinka joined him at training. Wawrinka will be facing Rafael Nadal at the Hurlingham exhibition to prepare for the Wimbledon. Before facing the Nadal, Wawrinka trained with someone who idolizes the 22-time Grand Slam champion.
Alcaraz posted a picture on Twitter with Stan Wawrinka. The youngster thanked the Swiss player for the practice session. The tweet from Alcaraz can be seen below:
The 19-year-old Carlos Alcaraz has been in red hot form in 2022. He missed the Queen’s Club Championships due to an elbow injury but prior to that, he was on a roll.
Alcaraz has won four titles in 2022 as of now. Out of the four titles, he has won two Masters 1000s. He lost in the third round of the Australian Open in five sets to Matteo Berrettini.
He became the first teenager to beat Rafael Nadal on clay when he won the quarterfinals of the Madrid Open against the veteran. The youngster did not stop there as he defeated Novak Djokovic in the semifinals. This made him the first person to defeat Nadal and Djokovic back-to-back on clay. He carried his fine form into the finals to defeat the defending champion Alexander Zverev.
Zverev got one over Alcaraz during the French Open quarterfinal. Now, Alcaraz’s focus is on the Wimbledon. While he is still an unknown commodity on the grass court, his coach has stated that he likes playing in the greenery. Fans will be keeping a close eye on how he performs at the most prestigious tournament in tennis.
