Carlos Alcaraz relationship status clarified amid Brooks Nader rumours<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cThey hit it so hard, so fast and then never missed a ball. Honestly, you can only dream about playing like this for a match once, but they do it every week.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have to say it\u2019s incredible. To be that consistent, to hit it that hard and to make so few mistakes is incredible.\u201d<\/p>\n
Agwi, who lead the Ireland team in their Davis Cup tie against China in Dublin this weekend, admits the standards being set by Alcaraz and Sinner are beyond most striving to make an impact in the game, as he suggested he only had one occasion when he felt he played tennis to take him to the next level.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne moment that stands out in my career was a couple of years ago and I had a day when everything went in,\u201d continued Agwi.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was outside the top 1000 and I played a Spanish guy and he was looking at me wondering what was happening. He was around 400 in the world at the time, so he was a better player than me.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was just ripping everything. Forehand, backhand, serve, return. I couldn\u2019t miss. My opponent was laughing at how good I was. I was laughing as well.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis was the day when everything worked for me, but if I did that against Alcaraz or Sinner, it would not be so easy to do that because they would get everything back. This is what we see with the great champions.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat we can do is look at the great players and try to take something from them. I always watched tennis growing up and you have to aspire to be like the greats.<\/p>\n
\u201cI always loved Federer and Nadal and then there was a period to time when I loved Dominic Thiem. Now it\u2019s Djokovic. This might sound strange, but I admire him so much. I liked him even when everyone was supporting Federer and Nadal and Novak was the bad guy.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe treatment he gets is unfair, especially when you consider his backstory. Coming from Serbia when they are in a war, to achieve what he has done is amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n
