Patrick Mouratoglu says that is not necessary at this time to compare Carlos Alcaraz with the big trio at this moment.
He said that the comparison with Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer makes no sense. According to the star coach these names are still far away from Carlos and for the Spaniard will be needed time and energy to catch their success.
“I don’t like the idea of the Big Three label for Alcaraz. We’re in a different era. There is no more Big Three anyway.”
“There is Novak who’s dominating the game and then Carlos comes in, wins two Grand Slams at 20 years old and is in a position that is incredible. And he shows incredible qualities. To label him Big Three, for me, makes no sense.”
“If you look at the game today, there is Novak and Carlos, Daniil [Medvedev], who’s very close, he’s winning a lot, and all the others that are under. That doesn’t mean they can’t win a Grand Slam but for the moment they’re under.”

“Big Three we’re talking about Roger, Rafa, Novak, guys who have 20 plus Grand Slams. So to label someone in the Big 3 on the men’s tour makes no sense for me.”
The coach has experience leading stars like Serena Williams and he knows how to win in these stages. Mouratoglu knows how to train young stars as he trained Holger Rune in 2022. The coach helped Rune win with Djokovic in ATP 1000.
So this is just like a easy scenario for the French coach. But above all for Mouratoglu and other coaches, product values and this is translated in success for young tennis players. Alcaraz is a product of tradition and dedication. He needs more time to proclaim the so called the world throne.
Alcaraz is preparing for the US Open, in what could be the second success for the young player. But the competition is high and this is only a sign of spectacle as Alcaraz will try to achieve glory in such short period of time.
