Ahead of the tournament, Alcaraz had an interview with Argentina's Ole. The world's No. 2 player was questioned by the reporter in the Big 3 of the tennis village (Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic), who was influential as the football superstar Lionel Messi – who had just won the 2022 World Cup with Argentina.
Answering this question, Alcaraz said: “Roger Federer is Lionel Messi of Tennis. That was shown through his talent. No matter who the opponent is, Roger still has a gentle way of playing.”
Federer announced his retirement in September last year. According to Alcaraz, he will now have to compete with the other two names in Big 3, Nadal and Djokovic, especially in Grand Slam.
“I want to continue winning more Grand Slam. To do that, I have to pay attention to Djokovic and Rafa. For many years, they have continuously won the tournament and always showed their best performance,” Alcaraz said.
After missing Australia expanded earlier this year, Alcaraz lost the world's No. 1 throne to Djokovic. Currently, he has passed the second round at Argentina Open to win tickets to the quarterfinals. The next opponent of the Spanish star is Dusan Lajovic.
