In his documentary series released on April 23 on NetflixCarlos Alcaraz reiterated his ambition to become the best tennis player in history. A path that the world’s number three wishes to take, while continuing to agree with pleasures, like his stay in Ibiza, after his title in Roland – Garros.
For Carlos Moya, the Murcian company, while reconciling a normal lifestyle, is impossible. The former world number one believes that the Spanish prodigy will not surpass the “big three”, without some sacrifices.
“It’s a viable option if you want to win Grand Slam tournaments in the short term. In the long term, it’s complicated because tennis is a background race. I see myself a bit like Alcaraz. I was also 21 years old, it is true that I had a different level from his. What is happening is that my ambition has never been the best in history. That may be that is shocking. Want to be the best in history in this way. Can we become one? I think it is difficult to have a normal life. Being a tennis slave is already very complicated…. Even if it is clear that at this level, it can do it. Of the three who have succeeded, no one did as he says, but maybe he is a guru or a pioneer and that he understood it. On the other hand, that’s what he thinks today, at 21. Maybe in two years he will be a little tired of what he says about life. Maybe in two years, he will be ripe enough to live fully these two years. He saw the present moment and he has the right, he deserved it. He is a great player, he won four adults, we sometimes forget it, but he is incredible ”said the former coach of Rafael Nadal, in remarks reported by Relief.
