them.'I've Played Djokovic, Federer, and Nadal - Alcaraz is Tougher'Daniil Medvedev has revealed that playing Carlos Alcaraz is tougher than playing Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic. "Roger plays on the line, hits beautiful technique
shots, goes to the net. Novak also plays on the line, but completely different. Amazing defence, like a pinball player where the ball comes back faster to you. Rafa, completely different again. He can stay 10 metres behind, but he is going to run to
every ball and hit banana shots. I think where Carlos is different from many players, we all have preferences, some prefer defence, some prefer to be super aggressive. He can do all of it.”

“Probably in my career he’s the toughest opponent I have faced… but I have time, I have time to try to do better. I played the big three when they were, let’s say, older. Over 30. It was a bit different.”
Alcaraz is in his youthful peak. He's joyful and fearsome.
Nadal 2008, Federer 2004 od Djokovic 2011...
Maybe he's even better than them, but my point is, the tour is still adjusting to him. He has a surprise factor that he's using.
