With 2 Grand Slam Titles Wins, Carlos Alcaraz Commands Roger Federer-Inspired Comparisons as Rafael Nadal’s Uncle Joins the Pack With an ‘Invincible’ Comment

The big three of the last two decades, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic have changed tennis drastically. Their names have become synonymous with modern tennis. After their era, Carlos Alcaraz lit up the tennis scene on fire. His efforts have impressed a figure close to Nadal which even evoked a Federer comparison.

While Toni Nadal only compared him to Federer, Boris Becker drew a comparison with each of the big three players. After his former student lost to the young Spaniard in Wimbledon, he praised his game, comparing him to all the Wimbledon winners in the last two decades.

“He is full of confidence” Carlos Alcaraz likened to Roger Federer by Rafael Nadal’s coach

Alcaraz received immense praise ever since his US Open win last year when he reached number 1. The comparisons with the big three were imminent. Since then, Alcaraz has been on the radar of every tennis figure as they watch his growth in the sport.

Now, Rafael Nadal’s uncle and childhood coach, Toni Nadal, has also jumped on the bandwagon. In a letter to El Pais, he compared the world number 1 to Roger Federer when he began his era of dominance.

He wrote, “He is full of confidence and in excellent shape, physically and technically. He reminds me of the irruption and superiority that Federer has shown since the end of 2003 and, above all, in 2004. His invincibility was so overwhelming that it was not until the arrival of a new generation that Roger found himself in difficulty. I have a feeling it will be the same, for a while, with Alcaraz.”
