Last month, Carlos Alcaraz achieved a feat that will resonate for many years to come. At only 20 years old, the Spaniard offered himself the scalp of the legend Novak Djokovic in the final of Wimbledon in an epic match in five sets, winning his 2nd Grand Slam title after theUS Open 2022 and at the same time depriving the Serb of a 24th Major. Beaten in the first round of the WTA 500 de Washington Monday, Bianca Andreescuwho also experienced the heights very early on with her coronation at theUS Open when she was only 19, was impressed by the performance of “Carlitos“.

“He is a great inspiration to all of us”
“Alcaraz was on edge throughout the match,” she confided to TSN. “It was her first-ever Wimbledon final. The way he handled it was amazing. He deserved to win. I know he won the US Open, but Wimbledon is different. This is an other story. He’s only 20, that really motivates me. It is a great inspiration to all of us.” Beautiful compliments from the Canadian who is now expected at home for the Montreal WTA 1000 where she received a wildcard for the big picture.
