Alcaraz: My role model is Nadal, but I want to play like Federer!

According to Tasnim news agency and quoted by Tennis Channel; Spain's Carlos Alcaraz, who grew up in the academy of his famous compatriot Rafael Nadal, now says he wants to play tennis like Swiss Roger Federer.

“I've always said that my role model is Rafael Nadal, but I really want to play like Roger Federer,” Alcaraz said. I'm not going to lie, Roger's style and grace on the pitch is amazing. I have said many times that my style is more like Roger and I would like to play like him.

This Spanish tennis player also stated about his promotion to the fourth round of Indian Wells Masters: “The conditions here are well suited to my game.” I feel really comfortable in this field, in these competitions. I also feel good off the pitch. It's really important for players to feel relaxed and their mind is sometimes completely clear of tennis. I have played great tennis here for the last three years. I think this tournament gave me more motivation and confidence.

Carlos Alcaraz defeated Russian Daniel Madoff in the Indian Wells Masters final last year and became the champion.
