Carlos Alcaraz made history in 2022, becoming the ATP’s youngest ever world No. 1 when he was just 19.
The Spaniard also won his first Grand Slam title at the US Open as a teenager.
Now aged 21, some new teens have been taking over at the Australian Open with Joao Fonseca, Jakub Mensik and Learner Tien all beating top-10 players.
Alcaraz has one bit of advice for the up-and-comers – not to beat him.
“What advice? Not beat me, I guess,” he jibed.
“I don’t know. I see them, you know, capable of beating anyone, including myself.
“So, I mean, they have the level. They getting the experience in every tournament they play. Last night we saw Tien beating Medvedev here in Australia in five sets, which was amazing. Fonseca playing his first five-sets match yesterday, as well.
“So they are getting experience. As much as they are getting experience, they’re going to become even more dangerous. Let’s see in the future.”
