During the press conference presenting the Wash Cup, Roger Federer referred to Carlos Alcaraz and he recounted the day when, being the Murcian just another junior at Wimbledon, refused to train with him.
The words of the Swiss, organizer of the tournament that pits Europe against the rest of the world, were transferred to the Murcian, who gave his point of view on what happened.
“I I was able to warm up with him for Juan Carlos“, because the day before he trained with Roger and told him that he was with a junior, that he was working there with a junior and that’s why I had the opportunity to warm up with him,” he told ‘EFE’.
Carlitos’ poor English and nervousness at seeing Roger left him speechless.
“SO I didn’t speak much English either.and between the nerves and not speaking much English and being there surrounded by people, well the truth is that the words didn’t come out“, remember.
“I told him ‘Good morning, how are you doing“and nothing else at that time. That’s why I would now like to be able to spend a little more time with him here in Laver and be able to talk about other things,” he adds. How nice it would have been to see the two face to face.
