Carlos Alcaraz to face Cerundolo
During a recent interview with Tennis Actu, Lucas Pouille reflected on Carlos Alcaraz’s rise: “I think he is going to be even more and more solid, in making fewer and fewer mistakes as we have seen in recent matches. I think he will push tennis to another dimension. That’s the mark of a great one.”
The Frenchman also reflected on the rivalry between Alcaraz and Sinner: “The question is whether they will succeed in having the consistency of the Big Three, of the Big Four even. Will they have the consistency to play at a high level week after week? Only the future will tell us.
Will their motivation drop, will they get injured more or less? It’s very hard to say. Carlos Alcaraz, all he needs is the Australian Open to have the Grand Slam, he will have won all four, at 21 years old. We can say that it is quite extraordinary.”
