Invited to nominate the best ATP player of the 2024 season, Laura Robson, former 24e world player and now consultant for Eurosport, surprised everyone by choosing Carlos Alcaraz. And his arguments are heard even if the Spaniard has been much less consistent than the current world number 1.
“I chose Alcaraz. Quite simply because he won Roland‐Garros and Wimbledon in a row, and few players have done so. You change surface. There is so little time between tournaments. And then right after that, he made the Olympics and was this close to coming home with a gold medal. So the three months he had together were something special, and something that very few tennis players were able to do. »
