Carlos Alcaraz was present at a press conference after his relatively easy victory against Yoshihito Nishioka 6-0, 6-1, 6-4.
The Spaniard was asked about the performance of Joao Fonseca, who beat Rublev this Tuesday in three sets, for his first Grand Slam match.
Alcaraz responds: “I looked a little, yes. I didn’t get to see the whole match, but I saw the beginning and the end. What can I say? Simply incredible.
The way he played his first Grand Slam match against a top 10 player was impressive. The way he approached the match, the way he handled everything, the way he kept his nerves under control, it was fantastic.
He’s someone I need to be careful around. I have to watch him. He will be there.
It’s only the beginning of the year, he only has one Grand Slam victory, but he will be there.
Let’s put Joao Fonseca’s name on the list of the best players in the world very soon. »
