The Nadal comparisons come only because he’s Spanish. Truthfully, his game style reminds me of a young Federer. His movement, aggression, and groundstrokes.

Very nice video presentation of 16 year-old Carlos Alcaraz. He has a marvelous family and coach, that's for sure. His humility-particularly in tennis-is much appreciated. Two nice places: Murcia and (just outside) Alicante where I studied guitar in Franco's era.

[@jovenson9474]

we can see him on ATP Rio (main draw) in just a few weeks, on ATP Barcelona (main draw) and on MS1000 Madrid (Qualy draw) it Will be interesting to check out his skills playing top 100 players... and yeah he's humble and easygoing , pretty appreciated traits for such a young guy

[@EmperorsNewWardrobe]

For those who hadn’t noticed, he has an extended-elbow forehand on contact, which only Federer, Nadal, Verdasco and Dimitrov have while everyone else bends their elbow. I think it’s the future of tennis forehands, so I’d put some money on this guy

To say the next Nadal... is quite a grand comparisons. Good luck, play hard, enjoy, but don’t let such lofty comparisons put pressure on you.

[@leodaweeb6969]

Short answer: No Long answer: Nooooooooooooooooooo

[@yomismo74]

He needs to improve his serve. he has a good backhand and a very good forehand, and he is good at the net (which is rare in young players today), but his serve could hold him back (fortunately for him his return to serve is pretty good). Anyway, what impressed me more is his attitude on court, he can be losing clearly that he doens't surrender and keeps fighting. The comparissions with Nadal are absurd (even they have some things in common) because not even Nadal at his age could hold that type of comparission (Nadal was probably the most sure top player you can watch at a young age but nobody expected him to be that good outside of clay in his younger days and not even in his wildest dreams nobody expect him to dominate Roland Garros in such tiranic way)

[@mememuncher1071]

He's only a teen, so his serve will improve to a decent level

[@chay2033]

I hope this season will be better yet even if 16yo guy :) And he will be good not only clay court like Rafa or Juan Carlos

[@radimmynar5607]

@@sergiosanchez4940 this Carlos will be succesful on every surface I think so cause he has technical quality - killing serve, backhand, very good forehand, strong mentality. It is all about Carlos movement (going on net etc) on every single surface.
