Federer on Alcaraz: "He'll learn with time".
Roger Federer is in Berlin, of course.
Founder of the Laver Cup, the Swiss will be keeping a close eye on this new edition.
Interviewed on the sidelines of the start of the matches, the Swiss commented on the participation of Carlos Alcaraz, who will be taking part in the event for the first time.
Not one to hide his enthusiasm, Federer also had a word of advice for the Spaniard: "His intensity, the power of his shots, his physical ability... Obviously, he has to be careful not to run onto every ball.
It's not necessary, but he'll learn with age and time.
He's also very strong when it comes to the important points. I remember when he beat Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon final (in 2023).
It was quite something to beat Novak in five sets when he was playing at his best. He showed that day that he was that player and that he was here to stay.
So I'm excited to see Carlos play here, because I've never seen him play in real life before."
