Questioned by non-colleaguesEurosport Spain, Mats mentioned the case of Carlos Alcaraz. Once again he confirmed that he is the Spaniard’s number one fan.
« The precocity record that Alcaraz has in his hands is truly unique. This would make him the most successful 21-year-old player in tennis history. Winning on grass, clay and hard at this age is extraordinary. Carlos is one of the most complete players I have ever seen at this age; he is already more complete than Federer at 21. Do I think winning the “Calendar Grand Slam” (winning all four major tournaments in the same year) is crucial for him? I would answer that it is positive to have this hungry goal but I would add that if you win everything too early, you run the risk of losing this motivation.
