Famous coach Patrick Mouratoglou commented: “Nadal has a unique style of play on clay, with maximum spin, unparalleled stamina and an iron will. Regardless of his level, Alcaraz could only win 2 or 3 matches out of 10 times facing Nadal at his peak at Roland Garros.”
Carlos Alcaraz has won 5 Grand Slams in his career. Although he lost to Jannik Sinner in the 2025 Wimbledon final, the Spaniard had an impressive season, especially when he successfully defended his Roland Garros title.

Although Carlos Alcaraz has won Roland Garros in the last two seasons, experts still consider Alcaraz to be no match for his compatriot Rafael Nadal. The “King of Clay” holds the record of 14 Roland Garros titles, an achievement that is unlikely to be achieved by any player in the future.
After the Nadal era, Alcaraz has been the dominant force at Roland Garros in recent years. In the final against Sinner at Roland Garros 2025, Alcaraz made a spectacular comeback from 0-2 down to win 3-2 against the world number one.
Alcaraz possesses speed, a variety of shots, and a tenacious and tenacious playing style. However, Alcaraz himself admits that to reach the peak of dominating clay courts like Nadal, he must improve his ability to adjust his mentality and control the match.
Due to needing time to recover his physical strength, Carlos Alcaraz will not participate in the Canadian Open 2025 to focus on the US Open 2025 (taking place from August 24 to September 7 in the US) with the determination to win the 6th Grand Slam of his career.
