Carlos Alcaraz, a 20-year-old tennis phenom, mauled Daniil Medvedev to set up a dream Wimbledon final matchup with Novak Djokovic. Despite giving the Spaniard stiff competition, the Russian tennis star was disappointed with how his Wimbledon run ended. And being a tennis player who has competed against the top three, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic, he recently revealed a candid revelation about how one more tennis player is on his way to join the tribe.

The 27-year-old tennis player lately compared the world’s number-one tennis player to the GOAT tennis players. He called him one of the toughest adversaries on the tennis field to watch out for in the future.

Daniil Medvedev on comparing Carlos Alcaraz to the big three

The Russian tennis player wanted to take one more step up and play the championship match against the 36-year-old Serbian tennis star. He lost the opportunity to the world’s number-one-ranked tennis player in the semi-finals. And after losing to the Spaniard at a key point in Wimbledon, he made a major disclosure about the 20-year-old during the post-press conference.

Medvedev said, “I’d say in general to compare like big three, they’re amazing, they win so many Slams, so many matches. He’s kind of like them. He’s still 20. Already has a GS.. Against someone like Carlos, Novak, Rafa, you need to be at your best.”
