After winning the Rotterdam tennis tournament this year, Alcaraz set another series of records, which made up for the defeat at this year's Australian Open. Recently, Alcaraz's coach Ferrero also gave an interview, mainly talking about the current main competition in men's tennis and his satisfaction with the performance of his proud disciple so far in the new season.

In Ferrero's view, the loss to Djokovic in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open will definitely be a little disappointed, because in last year's winter training, Alcaraz prepared a lot for this year's Australian Open, including improving his physical fitness and strength, and even increasing the weight of his racket, which made him have high expectations for this year's Australian Open. However, he also said that Alcaraz does have a lot to improve at the moment, and he still needs to put in a lot of work to do so in order to compete with the likes of Sinner.

However, Ferrero believes that only Sinner can really compete with Alcaraz in tennis at the moment, and as for Tsitsipas, Medvedev, Djokovic, Rublev and others, they can only be counted as the second echelon.

"At the age of 21, you can always improve. Carlos is a very talented player, but he clearly has a lot to improve. In the game, he still needs to work on mentally and consistently. And that's good, too. We have very clear motivation and goals, and he knows that perfectly. The Australian Open was a minor disappointment for all. A lot of players will be content to get to the quarter-finals, but with Carlos' potential, we always want to go further. The victory in Rotterdam has added confidence to the upcoming event. Ferrero said in an interview.

"Sinner is a very well-rounded player who is fully aware of what needs to be improved over the past few years and has improved rapidly. He has an experienced team around him that has helped him a lot. He has become more mature in the game, which has already been shown in the last year. He's going to be a real competitor and it's going to take a lot of effort from Carlos, and he obviously can't rest on his laurels. To compete with Sinner, or even with Zverev, Tsitsipas, Rublev or Djokovic, we always have to look for continuous improvement. ”

Ferrero's analysis has also sparked controversy among many netizens. Some netizens believe that "Ferrero ignored Djokovic's status, in any case, Djokovic should not be alongside Rublev and others, at least the current men's tennis should be: Sinner is the only one, followed by Djokovic, and then Rublev, Tsitsipas, Medvedev and other third-tier members." Some netizens agreed, "It is obvious that now, Tsitsipas and Ruble are not a threat to him, and at present, only Sinner and Djokovic (of course, Djokovic has to be healthy) can press him, so Ferrero obviously despises Djokovic." ”

Some netizens said, "Ferrero also belittled Djokovic in and out of words, what do you even mean?" And also put Deyo on a par with crape myrtle, Sissy, and rubles?? How many games did the latter two have played this year?? What's more, Xixi was beaten into a manservant by Aka! So in the final analysis, the Spaniard just doesn't want to face up to Deyo's excellence, he must feel that it is unjust to lose to Deyo, but he doesn't admit the high level and fighting will that Deyo showed in that duel! ”

However, some netizens said, "Ferrero's statement is not wrong!" As Djokovic's results have fluctuated in recent years, and his body has suffered more and more injuries, his retirement time is getting closer and closer. For Alcaraz, he's still so young that he should be thinking about competitive trends in at least the next decade. Moreover, taking Deyo's level of competition last year as an example, didn't he also lose to players like Ruud, Mahachi, and Poplin? This is obviously unreasonable if we continue to look at past results. ”

In fact, given Alcaraz's current situation, it is true that the rivalry with Sinner will become more intense, and the rivalry between the two is likely to continue for a few years or even longer. As far as Djokovic is concerned, it will be more and more difficult to beat Alcaraz in major tournaments as his physical condition becomes more and more injured, so Ferrero's words do not need to be over-interpreted, after all, the competition in men's tennis has long been a back-and-forth between Alcaraz and Sinner from the ownership of the four Grand Slams last year.(Source: Tennis Home Author: Lu Xiaotian)
