Alcaraz Carlos Muguruza Garbiñe

Former world number one, Garbiñe Muguruza expressed all the admiration she has for Carlos Alcaraz. The winner of Roland-Garros in 2016 and Wimbledon in 2017 is impressed by her young compatriot, who is already in the tennis history books at 22 years old. To recall, Alcaraz is coming off an exceptional 2025 season marked by eight titles, including two Grand Slams (Roland-Garros and the US Open).

"Who would have thought that after Rafael Nadal would come Carlos Alcaraz?"

"Hats off for everything he achieves. It is very difficult to surpass everything he has done this year. From what I see, he is very motivated for the Australian Open, which is the major title he is missing.

But, wow, what can I say? He is so young, so talented, so carefree... I don't know how it's possible to be so strong, so young, and so fast. It's a mystery to me. Above all, he always does it with the smile and naturalness that characterize him. He is unique.

Who would have thought that after Rafa Nadal would come Carlos Alcaraz? We are all amazed, I am very happy to have a role model for young people like Alcaraz, he couldn't be better, he is ideal," Muguruza stated in an interview with Teledeporte.
