In recent years, German tennis professional Alexander Zverev has established himself as a top player in the men’s game. When he first competed at an ATP event, he reached the semifinal of the 2014 International German Open. Since then, the 23-year-old has continued to achieve success.

Recently, Alexander Zverev praised Spanish teenager Carlos Alcaraz for his impressive performances in the recent tournaments. At the moment, the Spaniard is competing in the ATP Marbella Open and has reached the semifinal. Interestingly, the German reached his first-ever semifinal at an ATP event at the age of 17, similar to Alcaraz.

In doing so, Zverev commented on a post on Tennis Tv’s handle. They posted a video consisting of a few spectacular points won the Carlos during his matches at the ATP Marbella Open 2021. The caption of the post stated, “The kid is SPECIAL. Carlos Alcaraz becomes the youngest ATP semi-finalist since Zverev in 2014!”

Later, Alexander came across that post and commented, “Don’t want to say I told you so but I told you so!!! The kid is special. Let’s go Carlos Alcaraz.”

Earlier this season, Zverev faced the young talent at the ATP Mexico Open in Acapulco. They met in the Round of 32 matches, and the game was won by the German in straight sets, 6-3 6-1.
