The young Spaniard continues to impress
The central sporting event at the moment is Wimbledon, and all eyes are on two men - Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz. And while Novak's dominance has lasted for more than a decade, the young Spaniard aims to be a worthy challenger. He already played one final against a Serb and lost, and now something similar could happen at Wimbledon, where Alcaraz is showing his full potential and talent, so much so that many started to compare him with the biggest sports stars.
Football legend Gary Lineker has compared Alcaraz to Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi for the way he progressed to the semi-finals after easily defeating Holger Rune without losing a single set.
Alcaraz's performance impressed Lineker so much that the Englishman could not leave his mind unspoken.
"What a talent Carlos Alcaraz is. He looks and moves like a footballer, with the power and pace of a Ronaldo, mixed with the deftness of touch and feel of a Messi, but with a racket," Lineker wrote on Twitter.

Now Daniil Medvedev is waiting for the Spaniard in the semifinals, and it is possible that in the finals we will again see a duel against Novak Djokovic, of course, provided that the Serb also wins in the semifinals that he plays on Friday against Jannik Sinner.

The injection of pace he’s able to implement at any point in a rally is an enormous weapon.
Not a legend quite yet, but his forehand is groundbreaking.
