Everyone said it wasn’t a real Slam win because Djokovic wasn’t playing. Well now Carlos is Wimbledon Champion 2023 having defeated Djokovic who, in his own words, was playing his best tennis ever. I think that settles it.

[@seaneckhart9914]

Its scary how he won this slam purely on his raw talent and insane physical abilities. Once he learns to tweak his game to reduce unforced errors and close out matches early he will become a truly unstoppable force

[@connormacleod327]

True!

[@Lovistarful]

U say " once he learns" like the things he does are normal things that everyone can do with 19 yrs.... pls ... he played superb.... the others also wanted to win so yeah no easy games path to the title

[@davidgerman6490]

@@Lovistarful What he means is that he's not even in his best form yet. He's just getting the party started. He's already amazing and will get better as he ages and plays more games. Just 1 year ago he got beaten pretty bad in Paris due to not being able to play against a crowd that wanted him to lose (alcaraz vs gaston paris). We can see how he learned to play against the crowd in the Tiafoe game. He will keep learning and improving for the next couple of years. Then he will peak at some point but by then who knows how many more grand slams he will have.

[@fla2359]

Well said

[@Hmash87]

[@AshleyKarys]

I remember commenting on a video after he lost in Hamburg and Umag. So many people said to me he was overrated. And after Canada and Cinci they said the same thing. Now he’s won his maiden Grand Slam and is number 1️⃣ in the 🌍. You ended the GS season in style Carlitos! Tennis has a bright future ⭐️. Congratulations! 🎾🏆🇪🇸

[@henryshear5510]

Oh man! Same! So many people told me he was overhyped and he was lucky to win Madrid. As a fan, it is so rewarding that he showed all of the doubters that he is capable of winning a Grand Slam. VAMOS CARLITOS!

I have been a Nadal fan since he first came on the scene . I started watching Carlos last year when he appeared on the pro circuit . I am definitely a Carlos fan also now and am so impressed with his attitude, athleticism and determination . His three straight five set wins blew my mind . The changing of the guard has begun .

[@Histraordinary]

You don't want to count Djokovic and Nadal out yet. If both men don't win any of the four majors next season then we can come to that conclusion. Moreover, I don't see Alcaraz beating Rafa and Djokovic consistently for now.

[@viksinha5410]

@@Histraordinary Not consistently, but I can definitely see him beating Rafa at a hard court grand slam

[@tazahsan]

I had a Twitter user trying to argue that 19 year old Federer and Nadal were better than Alcaraz right now at 19. Let me hear what you have to say KZbin comments! I think Alcaraz has the stronger body/athleticism and more complete game at 19 vs Federer and Nadal at 19, what do you all think?

[@vicbs8589]

I think Alcaraz with 19 is better than roger with 19. Nadal with 19 was better in clay, but not in grass or Hard court.

[@jacobschmidt2709]

Once again we can see the difference between Alcaraz and Nadal at the same age. Nadal was much more raw and relied on his infinite stamina, grit, lightning quick speed, athletcism and overwhelming players with his strength. The combination of playing lefty with extreme topspin gave him an advantage against the tour and he exploited it. In contrast, Alcaraz is the complete package and is a much better and all-round player. His slam results at the same age are better than Rafas and Carlos is the better hardcourt player at the same age. 18- 19 year-old Nadal= muscles, speed and stamina. 18 to 19 year-old Alcaraz= a real tennis player.

[@g.c.6665]

Solo hay un Nadal y es el más grande. Nadal es dios. Que Carlos siga su propio camino sin ser comparado con Nadal

[@lukelee3]

He's like Nadal except he hits flat shots instead of nadals every topspin shot.

[@Histraordinary]

True. He hit flats shots. But Rafa could go flat when he wants to especially on those crosscourt backhand shots.
