Let correct that. Just to be good enough to reach a 5.0 USTA level, you are in the top 2% of all tennus players.

After winning a point, he put his fingers to his ear, asking the crowd to roar for him AND THEN he saw Joker wrecking his racquet by beating the net post with it, and Alcaraz's expression changed. He stopped celebrating in front of his opponents and his audience after that.

The last time he celebrated (urging the crowd to cheer for him) was when he played against Joker at Wimbledon. After winning a point, he put his fingers to his ear, asking the crowd to roar for him AND THEN he saw Joker wrecking his racquet by beating the net post with it, and Alcaraz's expression changed. He stopped celebrating in front of his opponents and his audience after that.
@@ROYAL_REBEL typical djoker
I've seen so many upstarts, but Carlos is an exceptional player. The real deal 😊
His opponent in this video is Nicolas Alvarez Varona. He is currently 22 years old and he id number 326 in the ATP
Thanks for this info!!!
Nice trivia! Thanks a lot! It tells the difference between the good and the average player
@@AzwarAmir-nk5iu "good" and "average" :D Carlos is the best player in the world right now and 326 in ATP rankings is like top 99.9% of all tennis players
Thanks buddy!
@@whistler1266 You have no idea how massively you've just underrated all top 400 players. They no joke. Most tennis players fail to win a single ATP point I'd say. It's really really hard to be a pro at any popular sport, including tennis. Being 326th at age of 22 is an amazing result. Alcaraz is not just "good", he is exceptional. So it doesn't really make sense to compare anyone with him to be fair.
They both looked exhausted in the 3rd set. Amazing he became world #1 5 yrs later.
I've watched all his matches the past 2 years. He is special, he has every conceivable shot and then some. In this match you could see just how good he was but remember he was 14 playing a 16 year old and you could tell he ran outta gas. If he played that same kid 2 years later he'd destroy him. It's nice to see the next greatest star especially when he's at the start of his career.
Carlitos tennis level at 10 years old is probably good enough to beat 95% of us amateur tennis players in straight sets (and that would probably include quite a few bagels).
Seriously
95% hahah 100% of the amateur.
at 10 no, 14 yes.@@A_Stoic
There are a lot of juniors who are better at 9 or 10 than Alcaraz was. They put these kids in elite academies that are getting more and more intense over time, and they can get crazy good at a young age. However, at some point you hit your genetic ceiling, and don't improve as much.
@@joek5078 a lot? he was beating top level kids older than him, he was one of if not the best at the age.
the fact that he had the Federer forehand chip down the line (drop shot wrong-foot fake) on a short ball at 14 is simply mind blowing to me
Luv the embrace at the end. 14 and 16 Yr old, great sportsmanship after a titanic match👌👌👌
I just can't help but admire the player Carlos is. Just hope he keeps going. We can potentially have 15 more years of Carlos.
The drop shot is his brand from an early age😂😂😂,he was getting better and better and he will get even better...God willing 🙏🏻❤️ VAMOOOOOOS CARLITOOOS , 💪🏻🇪🇸❤️🎾
And 5 years later...world # 1
15:36 what was that hat throw lol
A lot of work building muscles on legs, back and core. Speed, placement confidence etc. He loves to play can handle being defeated. Coming back in a match that is running away from him. Avoiding injuries playing on days when not on top. Improving and adjusting little things. No bad habits. Love of the game ....
The fighting spirit of a champion was very evident.
at this age....already a champion never give up attitude.....
looks like this second match in this video is from when he was around 14 years old...i believe this is around the time he met Ferrero, its clear at a young age that Carlos had the game and could play hard but didn't have the discipline to play smart...and then Ferrero came into his life as a coach and what looks like almost another father figure and took his skills to the level of it's potential! the power of an excellent coach!
Damn, the mental stamina to keep climbing back again and again at age 14, wow.
The depth on his groundies at 10 is phenomenal!
Wow ! Both kids played outstanding ! Their accuracy and ability to get to the ball was some of the best . Their ball speed might not be over 100 mph but everything else was as good as a men's final . I wonder if Alvarez knew he was play against the men's Tennis #1 .....
Great great sportsmanship at the end
Fantastic tennis. I would have paid money to watch these kids play. Superb footwork. Great shot variety. Clay court tennis ain't what it used to be.
Great match and so fun to watch!
Vamositos is a pure gold for future tennis , onbilivobol player
More than 10 years of hard work and preparing for present succes.. congrats ..😮
That Alvarez is a beast!! Nicolas Alvarez Varona. Hasn't yet broken through as a pro, hope he does, he's only 22.
A good tennis play takes notes from his losses. This match was a book full of notes !
A beast at any age ❤🎾
this was a higher level match then many challenger matches ive ever watched.
No doubt, these guys are good from the beginning.
The title was just clickbait, but the match at 14y old was really telling, all this volleying and drop shots, the game was already there. Good thing he toned down on the screaming
It's like the raquet just flows from his hand as a single wave form
Hope there will be no injuries that hold him back.
9 years old with that stroke production technique and power? amazing!...Curious did he have coaching already? When did he actually start playing?
One had 15, and the other 17, at this age 2 years is huge diference, and still Carlos almost won
seriously u deserve to be at the top
the kid he is playing at 10 years old is Koke Plans! he was superb
The next tennis legend.
“Carlitos muy bien!”❤The commitment was there at a very young age. Bigger, stronger and better 🙏
That recovery shot at 7:28 was insane. Never seen that shot at any level. It's not practiced or trained. It's athleticism and instinct. Alcaraz may be the best tennis player the world has ever seen!
It's a Pablo Cuevas special. Check him out vs Zverev, it's much better than this one.
What a match❗️
he already had a mustache at 10 years old. that in itself is amazing.
Carlos will dominate Men’s tennis now that he’s won Wimbledon. He has not reached his full potential yet.
Need More Videos from Alcaraz Childhood Tennis Videos for my Daughter and Son reference
N.Alvarez overreacted a little bit for beating a 14 year old. But today it sort of makes sense when Alcaraz is a world champion
I hope one day he gets there...
Me too. Promising kid. I see something in him.
what is bro saying he is already World no.1
@@Sourush1 bro its a joke
@@kieranfarrell1656 oh then even i hope one day he gets there
🎉
Dude at 14 has more variety than 95% of the top 100 !
Carlos 🎾❤️
I always wonder how he would've done if he played Junior Slams from 15 - 18 instead of jumping into the ATP so early.
He played two GS at 16. He Lost in first round at Roland Garros (Toby Kodat Lost in the final against Rune) and he reached quarterfinals at Wimbledon. He was a decent junior but his results were more inpressive in the pro tour. Djokovic had a similar experience
@@yomismo74 yes djokovic stopped at A0 2004 juniors..so year he'd turn 17...tsitsipas played all until 18...to each his own...there's no written rule...i think they all did the right thing
@@Bambotb Everybody has different needs. Alcaraz and Djokovic weren't the top Juniors but they have very good results at a young age (a recent example on the WTA is Brenda Fruhvirtova). Jumping to pros too soon can be dangerous if the player IS not ready.
@@yomismo74 well you contradict yourself because both those you mentionned jumped to pros without being top juniors and did well..bottom line is to each his own there's no right or wrong..people have to experiment
@@Bambotb But i was not talking about that. Djokovic and Alcaraz were not top juniors but they had early pro success. Rune was junior number one, Alcaraz was not top 20, but Alcaraz pro ranking was always way higher than Rune's. Some players need more time, Tsitsipas played till 18, but he made a smooth transition to pro. Early success in juniors can be a problem if the players is not mentally of physically ready to skip juniors and play the pro tour. Donald Young is the perfect example, after winning the AO junior he was hyped, but it was too soon and he couldn't adapt. As you say, every player is different
imagine playing a 10yo kid and getting absolutely crushed
Sad that Nicolas Alvarez couldn't bloom like his opponent.
What is he now
@@Bambotb Unranked player. Doesn't play much as well.
well if Carlos is here 10 years old, other guy would have been 16 and that is absolutely huge advantage and he barely won
@@KimTe63 But carlos was 14 and Alvarez was 16. The thumbnail was a clickbait.
@@biskcuit yea i thought so .. but anyways Alvarez would have been 20 in that case which still is huge difference. Boy vs man
Amazing talent, dedication and love for the game. Anyone who says it’s about the resources doesn’t know what they are talking about.
Eres de Murcia?
Alcaraz is amazing. It's even more amazing that 36 year old Djokovic has a 50/50 chance against him. I am hoping some more young phenoms come along soon, otherwise Alcaraz will have very little competition once Djoker retires.
I'd say if he didn't lose this match, he would have never become World's NUMBER 1
Why doesn't anyone talk about the constant injuries in tennis? Have a look at the forehand grip in the beginning photo. This grip is responsible for so many injuries compared to other racket sports. This is never talked about nor is there any suggestion to how to improve players injuries because of this.
Gonna be far more challenging moving forward than looking backwards.
Amazing!
I think I could hear Ferrero cheering him up
1:08 what an impressive slide
What happened to N. Alvarez (i.e. is he still playing)?
yeah, this is NOT Alcaraz when he was 10!!!!
Did you skip for first 2 minutes 😂😂😂😂
He got angry after missing points.. a sure sign of motivation, drive and desire to be better, to do better...
Does anyone know who was his opponent, at the footage where he is 9?
What's going on with the numbers here - title says he was 10, and you say that he's 10 in one of the clips, but then you switch it up and say that he was 9 in the same clip. So which was it? Also, you say that he was 14 playing in the sub-16 division, against 16 year olds. But if it's the *sub-*16 division, shouldn't the oldest players be 15, and not 16?
The opponent of Carlito in this video is Alvarez Varona, 22 years old and ranked 326. U can tell the difference between the good and the average player: mentality
And tons of rigorous fitness and strength training
Этот Альварес, надо признать, ничуть не хуже. Развивай его, он также был бы в топе. А так никому неизвестен.
damn he was legit already beast at 9 I fear he will have no true competitors once Novak retires
what is the current ranking of Alvarez?
What happened to the other kid in the video....he wore out a young Alcarez...very nice seeing pros at this young age...it seems they both had a lot of fight in them...the other boy just wanted it more..
Alvarez's ranking right now is 755th but Alcaraz's 2nd ranking, that's a nice revenge:)
Incredible how Nicolas Alvarez is ranked 429th now
This is from 2017, so he was 14. The footage is not unseen, so why not state the facts?
It’s clickbait
very good tactic
6:32 he was already doing his signature shot
I’m not gonna lie, it feels good to see alcaraz struggling a bit, even though he’s 14 here.. maybe he’s human like the rest of us.
Every tennis player who has ever played has had there ass handed to them. Especially the greats !!!
Shame there is no real competition for him at his age now, closest maybe Rune but even he gets crushed by Alcaraz.
Does anyone know if his opponent still plays tennis?
It's very impressive to see that he already had a lot of the features and shots he is currently showing when he was 14 yo.
JFC's role in his development is overrated
@@iannovak5223 no its not, there is a big difference between being a sly 14 year old and ice cold killer. The difference between world number one and over 100 in the world is by very fine adjustments. These can only be made by an experienced eye. Passion and talent alone is nowhere near enough to be number one in the world
@@iannovak5223 I watched a recent interview to JCF and he told that his focus was not on the way Alcaraz played tennis but making him more disciplined and improving at the physical, tactical, and mental level. He acknowledged that the guy has always been a very talented player, and only little adjustments were needed at the technical level. But the main point he was highlighting was that they surrounded Carlos with a team of professionals who can support him in every aspect of his preparation. At the end of the day, these players are a combination of talent, discipline, and money.
He was 14 in fact ! look at the end, it's in 2017 !...
@@iannovak5223underrated you mean
He kind of looks like a young Pete Sampras here
He was insane aged 10? He seems so mentally stable now.
@7:45 the opponent leans over and thinks to himself: "Who the hell is this kid"
Life! God! how could anyone have predicted that in less than 5 years he would be a World No 1
warrior
He may be the next Djokovic.
In terms of winning GS, maybe, maybe not, but he is already a way better tennis player. Almost every Alcaraz's shot is better than D's
the sad part is Alcaraz was the same skill at 10 as when I was 13 LOL
Cheer up! That means that in three years' time, you'll have the same skills as the current W's champion
@@robert111k 😂😂😂 @emplave_ well anyways if you train i give it all maybe you will can play ATP and go for more. Cheers up!
10 years old? Wow
Alvarez is now 294
Vamos 👍😀
The moaning is crazy 😭 guess that’s just how it has to be to make it happen for pros💀
This is from 2016...
❤❤
Nice clickbait title, Alcaraz was a teenager in this video.
Was looking for a comment like this, was thinking they both look a lot older than 10
Both of you are dumb in the first 2 minutes it showed 9 year old Carlos then after 2 minutes it showed 14 year old Carlos
Is the opponent Nicolas Alvarez from Peru? Or a Spanish youngster like Carlos?
He's from Spain
the one in blue a little bit better I think
And the other kid was most recently ranked 272.
