Speaking to the media after his win over Kwon Soon-woo at the Barcelona Open, Alcaraz was asked to name players he has been impressed by during training.
In response, the teenager explained that he finds it difficult to get “surprised” in training since he is well-versed with most players on tour. However, Alcaraz admitted to being taken aback by Rafael Nadal’s sheer quality. He further added Russian Andrey Rublev to the list of players that have left him amazed during practice.
Fifth seed Carlos Alcaraz will next take on countryman Jaume Munar in the Round of 16 at the Barcelona Open on Thursday.
