Tennis Players When They Were Kids - Novak Djokovic , Nadal , Alcaraz & More

Yes, and look, now they have shown that it is only for the eye to relax, because they are very few. It has cost a lot of penalty to keep the prize of 10 years, I guess. Yes, well, I think it was a thing that we ... it was a nonsense. By the way, he has a nephew in Manacor, playing tennis, who says he beats the whole island, even the older ones. Oh yeah? Yes. We will take note of the Christmas message. I think he has played much better than me. I have not been able to do anything. He has also played as well as the other days, as I wanted to play, but ... I don't care. On Mondays and Tuesdays I go from 9 to 12 from school. After 4 to 8 I play tennis. No, I play football, but football is more to have fun. Now, what are you going to do? Keep training. I think this tournament is important. To win this tournament, it does not mean that you are going to be very good. You have to keep training and we'll see. Not Nadal. I played football since I was a kid, until I was 12 years old. But look, I started playing tennis when I was 3 because my uncle is a coach. And the truth is that at 10 years old, being the first Edin, I became champion of Spain. And I was good at tennis and I decided to play tennis. I started to score more points in EDP. I have 51 now and I think I'll see if I can finish the year by adding a few more. And so I can play some Challengers next year. I like dirt or grass more than playing on land. Although I also like dirt a little. And the tournament you would prefer to win? Wimbledon, but it is very difficult and you have to work a lot. That's it. Come on, swing, Nole. Swing. That's it. Let's go. Bravo, Nole. Let's go. Again. One more time. Bravo, Nole. My Nole. A little more. Look what Nole is doing. Let's go one more time. Nole. Here, Nole. You're great. See you tomorrow. And that's it for me. He's already pulling under his skin. Let's go now. Let's go. Hit daddy. Come on. Hit daddy. Yes. You were a champion. I know. Let's go. I want. Come on, swing. What a nice one. Great. Here are two more. And that's it. Let's go, Nole. It won't be easy, right? Thank you. You deserve it. Let's go. And now let's cycle. Good. Let's go. Bravo. Here's Nole's hand. Let's shake hands. I'm late. You're late. Yes. But talk. You can't talk when you're eating. Give me some ice cream. I know. I'll get you some ice cream. Watch out, Nole. Don't fall. What do you like the most in tennis? I like forehand, backhand and volley the most. I win against them. Do your opponents get mad when you beat them? No. And when they beat you? No. So it's a fair play. Do you play? I play at night. Because I have school and training. I have afternoon and I finish at night after training. That's why I play at night. Is tennis for you a game or an obligation? Tennis is an obligation for me. What's your goal in tennis? My goal in tennis is to become a champion. He had a hell of a life in him. He actually always wanted to play. He wanted to run around. Mainly he wanted to play with the ball. He used to spend many hours at the tennis ball. Just playing, keeping himself busy. For him, the wall was a great partner. At the age of three, he could already spend hours just knocking against a wall or a garage door. Roger was more like a stroppy mini McEnroe than the always composed Mr. Core we know today. His parents were not impressed. On court, if he didn't go his way, then of course he did lose his temper and occasionally throw the racket or even cried. He was highly upset when he did lose a match. He could cry for half an hour after a match, which was disturbing for parents. Also behaviour on court. We were never angry at Roger if he lost a match, but we were really always angry at him because of his behaviour. He was horrible sometimes. He was throwing the racket to the net or to the back and swearing on the court. Sometimes we felt really ashamed. He learned the hard way. He actually hit his head a few times. I think this is the way you learn by mistakes. I used to tell him, your bad behaviour is like sending an invitation to your opponent and saying, here I am, beat me. I'm ready to beat today, so go ahead. You know, I said to him, he's pleased to drive home. It must be said that the Balois has models of reference of choice. I like the game of Sampras and Rios. They are the two best players in the world. And in 1998, another emerged. Roger Federer. They were unaware that they were witnessing a legend in the making. What's your name? Carlos Alcaraz. 12 years old. What would be your dream as a professional? To win the Hungarian League. Who is your favourite player or your idol? Roger Federer. The two warriors, the Spanish army. 12-1. 6-2, 3-6, 6-3. We were saying, he's a class of 2001. Gabriele, now we're talking about the early years. Do you have any other passion? Anything else? I don't know. Internet, videogames, these things that are there. That's not right. There he is in the lift line. And there he is on a slalom course. 30-0. That is smooth. Very elegant. Efficient. That's a GS, by the way. That's not a slalom. Whatever it is, that kid has skills. And he's got the one bib on. We're lucky to have him in tennis. Can we come in? So, this is your house. Do you live here alone? No, there are three of us here. There are two more rooms here. If there are three of us, we're fine. Can you show us around? This is our kitchen. When I came here, I went to the house of Luka Cvetkovic. She's Luka's daughter. She's like a sister to me now. Thank you.
