TENNIS-MADRID/ (PIX, TV):Tennis-Alcaraz graduates from up-and-comer to French Open threat

IAN RANSOMMen’s tennis has waited more than a decade for a player to emerge with the game and mental fortitude to shake up the “Big Three” establishment.

“I don’t have it as tension, I have it as a motivation. I really look forward to going to Paris, to fight for the grand slam, and I am really looking forward to show my great level in a grand slam, too,” he said. Having won at Miami a month ago, Alcaraz is now the second-youngest player to win two ATP 1000 titles, headed only by compatriot Nadal, who was 18 when he captured his second.

The world’s top players have bought into the Alcaraz hype, with a string of them, including Zverev, describing him as “the best player in the world right now”, less than two weeks out from the French Open.
