‘Tennis is in great hands,’ Andy Roddick praises Carlos Alcaraz for taking tennis world by storm after Big 3 and Williams sisters

Basically, I was pessimistic about where tennis was going to lay post the Big 3, Serena & Venus at the top of her game and I couldn’t be happier to be wrong about it. I think this is the game’s in great hands.
Andy Roddick said on his Served with Andy Roddick podcast 

Alcaraz won both the semifinal and final in five sets, becoming the second man after Rod Laver to achieve this. In the semifinal, he eliminated World No. 1 Jannik Sinner with scores of 2-6, 6-3, 3-6, 6-4, 6-3. While in the summit clash against Alexander Zverev, after winning the first set and losing the next two, the Spaniard made a strong comeback to take the next two sets to win the match with a scoreline of 6-3, 2-6, 5-7, 6-1, 6-2.

Andy Roddick praises Carlos Alcaraz’s knowledge of his body 

Andy Roddick, in that same podcast, talked about Carlos Alcaraz‘s progress. He praised the youngster for knowing what his body needs during particular times. The American pointed out that Alcaraz knows when he would be needing the pickle juice to fight cramps and what type of treatment during medical timeout would help him. 

Even if you’re in great shape, you’re never fresher in hour four than you are in hour two. It just doesn’t work. Even he knows the cadence of when to ask for his pickle juice, when to ask for treatment, what to ask for during this treatment. Those are all learned behaviors that don’t exist in practice. 
Andy Roddick said 

Alcaraz’s quest for more Grand Slam titles started when he won the 2022 US Open, following which, he stunned Novak Djokovic in the 2023 Wimbledon final. And now after his first Roland Garros, the young Spaniard will aim to lift his second Wimbledon.
