The world of tennis is full of surprises for both the players and the fans. The Rolex Shanghai Masters tournament coming back to the tennis circuit was nothing less than a big surprise for the fans and so was the defeat of the champion Daniil Medvedev. While his loss was an enormous disappointment for the fans, it has lighted a spark of discussions in the tennis community, particularly over the Spaniard in action, Carlos Alcaraz.

Winning a total of 13 tournaments in 2023, Carlos Alcaraz caught the attention of several players and coaches from the tennis world. As Daniil Medvedev’s defeat had a disappointing impact on the fans, his words on Carlos Alcaraz gave hope that the world now holds on to. His thoughts about the Spaniard raised a non-diminishing intrigue in the minds of fans and the media.

Medvedev shares his surprising thoughts on Carlos Alcaraz

The world of tennis runs with an endless cycle of legends retiring and new players making their marks. Carlos Alcaraz has been catching the eye of the entire tennis world due to his remarkable progression. After losing against Sebastian Korda, Daniil Medvedev couldn’t help but praise the young sensation.

While having a word with the media after his defeat at the Shanghai Masters, the Russian tennis star spoke highly of Alcaraz as he said, “I would say, in general, if we talk like about shape right now, Carlos is just, at the moment, he’s, let’s say, the player like Novak, Rafa were before. Every time he’s in the tournament he’s the biggest, or when Novak is there, one of the two biggest contenders for the title.” Medvedev’s thoughts on Alcaraz being one of the top contenders in the tennis world currently, just as Djokovic and Nadal were in their prime, made his endorsement sound even stronger.
