Chris Evert admits she is in "disbelief" of Carlos Alcaraz's talent as she believes the game has finally gotten a player that is in the class of Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic.
Alcaraz, 19, already has a Grand Slam title, three Masters titles and he is currently the top-ranked player in the world.
"I'm in awe when I watch him, I'm flabbergasted. I'm just in disbelief at how well he moves, and how he improvises and adapts to certain situations. I think we're seeing a new level, a higher level of tennis. You always think you've seen the greatest with Roger and Rafa and Novak, but every decade it just seems like there appears a player that is at even a higher level than the former champion," Evert told Eurosport.
Evert: Alcaraz is in the class of Nadal and Djokovic"Before we had high hopes for Alexander Zverev and Dominic Thiem and Medvedev, and we had high hopes for other top players that were younger, but it never really came to fruition where they would be in the class of Novak and Rafa. I think now, Carlos is in that class. He is right up there with them," Evert added.
Alcaraz has proved that he can play extremely well on hard and clay but there are question marks regarding his grass game.
However, Evert is not concerned about that as she thinks Alcaraz will eventually figure out how to play grass and win Wimbledon.
"He is a multi-surface guy. I see him doing great on grass. I mean, look at Nadal winning Wimbledon. Why can't Carlos? That's obvious to me, the fact that on any surface he can excel and he can win major titles," Evert said.
On Sunday, Alcaraz defeated Daniil Medvedev in the Indian Wells final.
Now, Alcaraz is hoping to defend his Miami title.
Last year, Alcaraz became a Masters champion after beating Casper Ruud in the Miami final.
