The two Wimbledon 2023 finals made history: the victories of Carlos Alcaraz and Marketa Vondrousova, the defeats of Novak Djokovic and Ons Jabeur.One of the great absentees from this edition of the London Sam was certainly the young British Emma Raducanu.Emma’s former coach, Nigel Sears, talked about Carlos Alcaraz’s victory and Ons Jabeur’s defeat in the Championships finals, during the Control the Controllables podcast.He explained: “In Carlos Alcaraz’s case, he came through and his graph was almost vertical, so he was outstanding, absolutely outstanding as a young player.
His progress has been so rapid: slightly different from Ons Jabeur, she has been doing it for longe. She didn’t immediately get to the top of the game. People said she has the ability and she is a talented player but it’s only in the last couple of years Ons has really played at the top level.
Alcaraz has seemingly dominated at every stage he has been at. So, it’s not a balanced equation there really. Yes, there is something genetic in Alcaraz that is very very special. I mean Ons is a wonderful player too, but this guy is out of this world.”
