Carlos Alcaraz has been dubbed the "new Nadal", heir and copy version 2.0. The Spaniard has already emancipated himself from his idol.
Nadal admitted it himself a year ago: "Carlos reminds me of a lot of things when I was 17 or 18" The interested party insists that his game is more like that of a Federer than a Nadal. It is this more aggressive line of play than that of the left-handed Nadal at the same age that clearly distinguishes him from his elder.
