Carlos Alcaraz Compared To Roger Federer By Former Tennis Star

Ever since Carlos Alcaraz announced himself to the tennis world, the Spaniard has gone on to achieve a series of feats most players could only dream of.

At the ripe age of 21, Alcaraz already has four Grand Slam titles to his name. This year alone, he won at Wimbledon and Roland Garros. The Spaniard is just missing the Australian Open across the four majors.

All in all, Alcaraz has 16 ATP tennis titles to his name and was also part of the winning Laver Cup team in 2024. He can even boast a silver medal from the Paris Olympics.

That’s why such accomplishments at such a young age has seen former Australian star Pat Cash deliver a series of bold claims about Alcaraz.

It’s not just Alcaraz’s achievements that have impressed Cash and fans across the world. His style of play, flair passion and swagger help make Alcaraz the formidable force that he is.

He hasn’t got a weakness. I almost think he is the best player I have ever seen on grass at his best,” the Australian said on Sky Sports on Friday.

Roger Federer as well. Let’s face it, he’s taken the best from Rafa, Federer and he has been able to adapt that. Without these other great players we wouldn’t have that.

He has taken the best of everything and somehow at the age of 21 he has put it all together. I have never seen anything like that.”

Cash himself won the Wimbledon title in 1987 and claimed 12 titles overall. To receive such praise from a former star will only help boost Alcaraz’s morale in the long-run.

On Saturday, Alcaraz will renew his rivalry with world no 1 Jannik Sinner in the Six Kings Slam final. The winner will pocket a staggering £4.6 million. Alcaraz, though, probably won’t be driven by the financial reward. Just the thought of winning the exhibition event will provide all the inspiration he needs.
