One fan wrote, “First Nadal and now Djoko!! Future number #1.“

Another fan said, “HE IS THE REAL DEAL.”

“The future has arrived…” wrote another fan.

Another fan pointed out the love for clay amongst the Spaniards.

“Spaniards see clay, play clay, own clay. 51 winners against Novak!!! Are you kidding me. What an talent this kid! #CarlosAlcaraz @MutuaMadridOpen.“

These two victories made everyone believe that Alcaraz is here to conquer.

“Next Big Thing? Nah. He’s already a Big Thing! Monster in Making,” wrote another user.

Another one said, “I’ve run out of words, I literally can see this kid ruling tennis this year.”

Fans started calling him a superstar as another fan commented, “We have a new superstar on the block!!!!”

A fan on Twitter said, “I knew the Alcatraz headlines were coming.”

Another user wrote, “History. We’ve just witnessed the PASSING OF THE TORCH IN TENNIS!”

Can Alcaraz win his second ATP Masters 1000 title in Madrid?

Alcaraz has already shown that he is one of the best players in the world right now after winning the Miami Open earlier this year. Last month, he also won in Barcelona. In Madrid, he has a great chance to win his first Masters 1000 title on clay. 

In the final, he could face either Alexander Zverev or Stefanos Tsitsipas. Earlier, Tsitsipas won the Monte Carlo Masters, as he showed good form on the red soil. Either way, it will be tough to beat the Spaniard at the moment, as he has been playing some unbelievable tennis for the past few months.
