Spanish Open champion Carlos Alcaraz confirmed that he admires the “big three”, referring to his compatriot Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic, but stressed that he does not want to compare himself with them, but rather seeks to repeat what they have achieved .

“It’s incredible to have a place in history, but it’s hard to achieve what the Big Three have achieved by staying on the scene for twenty years,” said the 19-year-old.

“I don’t want to compare myself to them, but it’s something I have a lot of respect for and everyone wants to be like them. I will try to be like them, at least to a small extent, ”he added.

“I never thought that I would achieve something like this at the age of 19, everything happened so quickly, it’s incredible,” he added.

The young Spaniard emphasized: “Now many things will enter my life that I did not imagine, but I know myself. It won’t be hard for me to stay on my feet. I will remain the same boy I have always been.”
