Rafael Nadal has once again shown his class, praising fellow Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz and offering a generous take on their contrasting styles and eras.

Carlos Alcaraz registered a historic milestone after defeating Taylor Fritz and storming into the Wimbledon 2025 final on Friday (July 11). At the age of 22, he etched his name alongside tennis legend Rafael Nadal by reaching his third consecutive final of the tournament.

Alcaraz had never lost a Grand Slam final before Sinner's Wimbledon triumph. It is a test of the short memory that defines elite athletes.
