Former legendary player Jimmy Connors talked about Carlos Alcaraz 's meteoric rise on the latest episode of his podcast.
Connors has been quite impressed with Alcaraz for a while seeing the same kind of burning passion he saw in himself for much of his career. Like Connors, Alcaraz loves to play tennis and does it with a lot of pleasure which is both visible and palpable.
The Spaniard won his second Grand Slam trophy at Wimbledon recently and it's been further proof that he's heading towards stardom. Connors talked about the player and his rise noting that he's quite a hybrid player without any weakness in his game, something he always thought would be the hallmark of the next great player.
