Ion Tiriac believes Carlos Alcaraz is an incredibly gifted player but… .
Former Romanian player Ion Tiriac has suggested that the hype around Carlos Alcaraz is a bit too much despite acknowledging the Spaniard’s talents. Over the last two years, Alcaraz has established himself as one of the most dominant forces in men’s tennis, winning four Majors and five Masters 1000 titles.
Alcaraz shot to international superstardom in 2022, when he defeated Casper Ruud in the final of the US Open to win his maiden Grand Slam title. The second one came at last year’s Wimbledon Championships, with the Spaniard dethroning Djokovic after a five-set thriller.
Since his SW19 success in 2023 though, Alcaraz went through a barren run that was marked by inconsistency. However, he did eventually rediscover his finest form at this year’s French Open, clinching the title with a comeback win over Alexander Zverev in the final. He defended his Wimbledon title successfully as well, once again getting the better of Djokovic.
