Starting the gun towards the Wash Cup with Carlos Alcaraz as the big attraction. He will lead the European team. And his companions already consider him “a legend” tennis although he arrived very recently (he is only 21 years old).
Alexander Zverev The German tennis player and also a member of the European team, praised Carlitos. “For me it is a privilege… don’t listen to that, because you are ’12 years old’ and I shouldn’t tell you so many nice things,” he told the Murcian, sitting next to him.
“I say it’s a privilege sharing the track with a legend who is already a legend in our sport and it can only get worse from now on,” says the German.
Alcaraz also celebrated sharing a team with one of his great rivals: “For me it’s the same. He said we fought several times this year, So having the opportunity to play on the same team is going to be great and fun. Obviously, with his serves, at the net, it’s going to be an easy job for me. We’ll talk a little bit later about the team we’re going to play on, tactically. And I’m pretty sure it’s going to be a good match.”
“For me, it’s incredible to hear that my teammates see me as a legend of the tennis world. I try not to think about it. And I think what makes you that is what you bring to your sport,” Carlos said at the press conference.
The European team is composed of Thomas Enqvist, Grigor Dimitrov, Daniil Medvedev, Alexander Zverev, Bjorn Borg, Carlos Alcaraz, Casper Ruud and Stefanos Tsitsipas.
