This kid is extremely talented and gifted. He has so many weapons that players who have been on the ATP tour for years do not and will not have. His footspeed, mechanics and match play instincts are off the chart. He is very legit.

Indian Wells this year it was Rafa 6-4; 4-6; 6-3:

Rafa had a tough three setter today,
Tomorrow will be interesting.

Great win - now for Rafa😀😀

Thanks for update!

and it's only going to get better when he fills out a bit. He just slaps the shit out of the ball and hits winners from anywhere on the court.

Haha -PHEW!

One of the things I like best about him is that he has such a complete all court game, so he doesn't just hang out on the baseline and he has remarkable touch, especially for someone so young. I remember when Andy Murray was just coming up through the ranks and liked to hit drop shots at really dumb times. He was eventually coached out of it, but Alcaraz has already, at such a young age, figured out all the right times.

Happy Birthday kid

His game is at such a high level already and as he matures, watch out. He has every shot in his arsenal and his mental game and instincts give him a very high ceiling that he hasn't come close to reaching yet. The match between he and Rafa will be incredibly entertaining. I still would favor Rafa because he is such an incredible fighter who will give his all against the youngster but Alcaraz is in the rear view mirror and closing quickly. Can't wait to see what Alcaraz will do at Wimbledon and the US Open...

Rafa v Carlos in Madrid again 😀😀

Impressive 1st set against Rafa

the kid is scary good. Making Rafa look lost actually

Which is a problem for his serve. That said the kid is scary good.

Carlos needed a medical time out - not good

you can tell it’s not one of his better shots, and Carlos is the gawd of drop shots. JMHO.

Far from it

young AND good is just scary. I wanna see Carlos play the joker, and crush him.

Yes I'd love Carlos to beat the Djoka but I want Rafa to win so that an wait

I hope not- he’s way too young for an ankle problem.

Ya, that tumble was bad.......darn it.

I’m rooting for the kid. 😁

I always root for him. I love the kid but I’m rooting for Rafa.

and now I'm back midway through the second set incredulous about where we are. I thought he'd finish out the match then take a couple weeks off to allow his ankle to heal.

Go Rafa!

Huge win for the kid😀

❤️ ❤️ ❤️. I love the kid.

He's exciting.

so happy for him. Now it’s onto the Joker right???

v Novax DjoCovid

😂

was remarkable. He was so ballsy, going for it all on every point. Even on the two crap points, they were crap because he was so intent on being unafraid.

Just beautiful. Serve and volley on the first point? The drop shot? My god.

😀

1st set to Novax
This kid can play

At 4-4 deuce?! Against Djoker? And then the next deuce he hits that huge swinging volley? What even is this kid?

On we go😀😀

What a match. I feel spent from that emotional roller coaster. Wow.

I counted 13 times he bounces the ball before he serves it. 😡 😡 😡

😀. Go Carlos!

OMGAWD HE DID IT……beat them both.

My phone won’t stop ringing😀😀

Here we go😀

I’m lovin’ it😀😀😀😀

plays down the best player stuff

Commie😀😀😀

A fabulous week for the kid😀😀

I almost felt bad for Zverev and he is far from my favorite player. Courier said Carlos might be #1 by the end of the year....I'd guess that's a bit early, but by next year I can totally see it. He's phenomenal

That is all😀
