Former world No. 6 Gilles Simon believes that Carlos Alcaraz is unfairly criticized for his failures.
`The problem with such tennis players is that they receive a lot of attention. Therefore, expectations for them will always be high in the end. Alcaraz has won four Grand Slam titles, which is incredibly much for his age. He has already achieved incredible success and will achieve even more.
Every time such a tennis player loses, we make a mountain out of a molehill because he is supposed to win everything. I don`t think he is such a person. We know what he is capable of. In the end, everyone loves him, and when he doesn`t win, we get upset and blame everything on him. I find it unfair,` Simon said, as quoted by Tennis365.
Also, Daniil Medvedev`s former coach spoke about Jannik Sinner`s return after a doping ban.
`He will play great. During the ban, he trains, so in fact, it is a three-month preparation. He will need a few matches to regain his rhythm. I am sure he will find it quickly. At some point, he will win, return to his previous level, and play wonderfully again, because this is not an injury, but a ban. He is healthy, he has time to work hard.`
