Nick Kyrgios seemingly wasn’t actually impressed with Boris Becker’s take that Carlos Alcaraz was found out within the second a part of the 2023 season.

Sharing his ideas on the matter, Becker opined that “different gamers have developed and Alcaraz hasn’t.” Reacting to Becker’s tackle Alcaraz’s dip in kind, Kyrgios wrote on X: “Annddddddd Alcaraz would DESTROY Becker…..

Kyrgios not a fan of Becker’s tackle Alcaraz

Alcaraz loved a really robust first a part of the 12 months however even he did not anticipate to have a really profitable grass season.

Going into the grass season, Alcaraz mentioned there have been nonetheless issues he wanted to determine about enjoying on grass and due to this fact wasn’t setting main expectations on himself. However then, Alcaraz impressively gained back-to-back grass titles on the Queen’s Membership and Wimbledon.

Alcaraz’s Wimbledon triumph was particularly spectacular, having ended Novak Djokovic’s run of 34 consecutive wins at The Championships. However after that, Alcaraz did not win a single trophy within the the rest of the 2023 season. “Why is that (Alcaraz’s dip in kind)? Duelling with Djokovic, turning into No 1 on this planet and profitable Wimbledon for the primary time – sustaining this degree is probably the most tough factor in tennis.

Anybody can have a great match or a great 12 months every now and then, however sustaining that degree through the years is the actual problem. My favorite saying on this context is: ‘The locker room by no means sleeps’. It implies that the opposite gamers have realised how you must play in opposition to Alcaraz to have an opportunity in opposition to him.

That’s what occurred. Different gamers have developed and Alcaraz hasn’t,” Becker mentioned on Eurosport Germany’s tennis podcast Das Gelbe vom Ball.
