Carlos Alcaraz is on his way to becoming one of the greatest players of this era. The Spaniard has won two grand slams, helping him climb to the top of the table, with a rank of world number 2. As he achieves a greater platform, comparisons run wild. Many see him as another Roger Federer, including a former coach of the Swiss Maestro. He also revealed why he believes that Alcaraz and Federer are similar to each other. 

The world compares Alcaraz to Federer because of his constant dedication to performing at the highest level. Another testament to it came after the Masters season ended, and the Spaniard edged closer to the Swiss Maestro.

Instinctual Play brings the abilities of Carlos Alcaraz and Roger Federer closer

Jose Higueras, a former coach of the 20-time grand slam champion, recently appeared on the ‘Tennis Channel Inside-In’ segment and talked about the state of tennis today. He focused on Roger Federer for one segment and went on to say that Carlos Alcaraz possesses abilities similar to him, especially when it comes to instincts.

Higueras said, “I think Alcaraz kind of reminds me a little bit of that too. They play by instinct a lot more than other players, that you can actually structure more, so that’s another thing I actually learned from him.” As the Spanish star prepares for the upcoming Australian Open, all eyes will be on him as he would try to ensure grabbing the number one rank.

Alcaraz comes closer to some of the best players in history

The young Spaniard showed us great performances this year. His efforts helped him earn many titles and even create history. Additionally, his victories also helped him come closer to some of the greatest players in history. After the Shanghai Masters, Alcaraz recorded 25 victories in Masters tournaments in one calendar year.

He has the sixth-highest number of wins in Masters tournaments in one year. Currently, Novak Djokovic leads the number with 39 wins, a record far above Alcaraz. However, the Spaniard is yet to tap into his prime. He is showing remarkable potential and has a great chance of equalizing and surpassing the Djoker’s numbers.
