Eurosport tennis experts Mats Wilander and Tim Henman heaped praise on new French Open champion Carlos Alcaraz after his thrilling five-set victory over Alexander Zverev on Sunday evening. The Spaniard came back to win 6-3 2-6 5-7 6-1 6-42and add the Roland-Garros crown to his US Open and Wimbledon victories. Wilander said that tennis needs Alcaraz “more than anything.”Carlos Alcaraz “could be the next Novak Djokovic for all we know,” according to Eurosport’s Mats Wilander.”I think Zverev became a little bit passive to be honest, I think he allowed Carlitos to play his game a little bit too much.
“But at the same time, we’re looking at a multiple, multiple Grand Slam champion. This could be next Novak Djokovic for all we know.”
