Carlos Alcaraz it is god and god knows it. Carlos Alcaraz was born on another planet. You look at his box and, indeed, there are his parents and even his grandfather, the one with the ‘three c’ (“You know, Carlitos, head, heart and balls & rdquor;), but are they really his parents, is he his grandfather himself, or are they the representatives of someone who left that boy in Palmarin MurciaSo that the rest of the world could enjoy his power, his grace, his personality, his tennis, his power?
Carlos Alcaraz is god and God knows it. Even the god of tennis, that Novak Djokovicwho had not lost a match or a tournament at Wimbledon since 2017, realized today, at 7:32 p.m., when he smashed his racket against one of the net pylons on the center court of his favorite court, that he did not I was going to be able to defeat, subdue, surpass the heavenly envoy.
The entire world, the entire planet, has found out today that the envoy of God has already taken possession of his throne. Ok, yes, of course, it is still many, many, grand slams of the ‘big three’integrated as you know by Novak Djokovic (23)that yesterday he learned that his reign is in serious danger; Rafael Nadal (22)who is cruising the Mediterranean with his yacht and I’m afraid he didn’t stop at any port to see this final and dad Roger Federer (20).
Carlitos, a drug
But how can he not be far from the figures, from the victories, from the titles of the emperors of clay, grass and hard courts if this boy, if he is sent, if this little angel is only 19 years old and the only What he wants, what he is looking for, what he intends is to learn, mature, take notes while accumulating victories in all corners of the world.
The monster said it yesterday Mats Wilander, another who looked into his eyes from the other side of the track when he killed you, when he pointed out that “Carlos creates addiction & rdquor ;. Alcaraz’s attraction is so beastly, so brutal, that he enchants, that he likes, that he excites, that she drives people crazy even when he loses.
Because that is, among others, the charm of this boy, almost a child, adorable for the way he behaves, for his simplicity, for his shyness, for his conviction and, above all, because he knows, very since he was a child, what he wants achieve, how you want to achieve it and where you expect to enjoy it: in all corners of the world.
When you see the entourage that surrounds him in his box at the All England Lawn Tennis Croquet ClubDo you think that if the stork had gone to the wrong house and had left it, despite the fact that God had given it the correct address for its GPS, in the doorway next door, maybe we were talking about something else, about another champion, about a footballer to the Leo Messifrom one pilot to the Marc Márquezfrom one driver to the Fernando Alonso.
‘Captain Hook’
But no, he left him in the right house and that is why today, a few meters from the King of Spain, that Murcian boy, who has turned his town into a place of pilgrimage and his province into the center of world tennis, has begun to demonstrate to the world that the golden book of world tennis has just closed its most golden, most successful, most immense chapter and begins to count the collection of titles and feats that this child will reap.
It is not easy to learn from a defeat, but Alcaraz and his team have explained, both actively and passively, that much more is learned from them than victories. Today, more than ever, when Djokovic overwhelmed Alcaraz in the first set (1-6), I have remembered the phrase that my friend and tennis teacher told me a long time ago, Jaume Pujol Galcerán: “Emilio, five-set tennis is another sport, it’s something else, it’s five sets when you see the real phenomena, when the heroes appear, when you know if a young man will be a man and a chosen one, a champion& rdquor ;.
