The six-time Slam champion commented on the schedule chosen by Alcaraz final season.
“He had a terrible calendar in 2024, because he played too much. Carlos is a star on the court, in a positive sense, a true artist.

The previous German primary then attacked the crew of the younger Spanish champion, analyzing: “I know that Juan Carlos Ferrero is one of the best coaches in the world, but he and his agent must protect Alcaraz more.
His staff must look less at the money and more at the titles and the world ranking. Of course, he receives seven-figure sums for his exhibitions. Protecting him means knowing that he will earn a lot in the coming years, but there is no need to do everything in two years.”
