With youngsters rising meteorically, new records are being made by teens. In tennis, Carlos Alcaraz has peaked in the past year for his gracious gameplay that has put the world at his feet. He won the 2023 Wimbledon and lost in the semi-finals of the US Open to Daniil Medvedev.
The Spaniard, who has played in every tournament, has decided to withdraw from the upcoming Davis Cup. This is beneficial for the opponents of Spain, as others are getting rid of a stubborn 20-year-old. World No. 1 Novak Djokovic has shown his happiness in a recent interview ahead of the tournament. “He will surely bring a Davis Cup for his country and will be in Malaga if Spain qualifies. Of course, it is better for us that he is not there,” said Novak.
It is common for players to take a break from some tournaments to reset their bodies and prepare for the next big challenge. Novak is playing for Serbia in the Davis Cup and is understanding of the break the 20-year-old took. “I was also 20 years old, and I have skipped Davis Cup qualifiers. Carlos is not Superman, and we have to understand his absence.” Novak reminded us. Serbia will be facing Spain in the Davis Cup, and the absence of Carlos is a huge plus for the Serbian camp.
