Carlos Alcaraz has taken the tennis world by storm. So far he has captured two Grand Slam titles to his name and climbed to the top of the ATP rankings chart at a young age of 20.

Subsequently, the Spaniard’s immense success on the tour has attracted the attention of his peers, which recently came in the form of Andrey Rublev‘s resentment of the former’s well-planned calendar for bringing his best out on the circuit.

Moat recently, the Spaniard’s nascent career drew the comments of fellow competitor Andrey Rublev, who directed his comments on his well-managed calendar. The Russian highlighted the problematic aspects of Alcaraz’s dependency on his agent to a Russian YouTube channel, claiming the same could hamper his life off-court. He said:

Alcaraz is young. Off the field, everything is planned and done for him. What will happen when faced with difficult situations? We will have to see how he handles them because it takes time and experience to resolve the problems, to understand them. For example, what if you have problems with your agent? When you stop working together, there are always contract issues, who gets what, they try to take everything you have.

The Russian player further said:

These moments influence you; you start to think about something other than tennis . Everything is planned for him off the field, because he is an incredibly good player. He was successful, he was number 1, he won Grand Slams. He has already achieved what players dream of. Now he has to do more, win more Grand Slams.

Alcaraz concluded the 2023 season as the year-end World No. 2 after losing the No. 1 feat to Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic. Although the 20-year-old captured two Masters 1000 titles and his maiden Wimbledon crown, a dip in his form was witnessed after his US Open semifinal loss to Daniil Medvedev.

The Spaniard has faced Nole five times during his time on the ATP Tour, with their head-to-head currently scored in favor of the latter, 3-2. Alcaraz and Djokovic locked horns four times this season which saw the incredible sporting rival between the duo.

However, the 20-year-old faced a shocking straight-set defeat at the hands of the 24-time Grand Slam champion in the semifinal of the 2023 ATP Finals. It is worth noting that the duo’s recent encounter serves as the sole match where the Serbian triumphed over Alcaraz without dropping a set.
