The Battle of Stars, the charity tournament that takes place at Pula Golf Resort (Spain) brought together several international tennis players. Among them was Daniela Hantuchova, the player who claims that watching the final between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner she felt that they were playing a sport "that was not familiar to me, that does not resemble what I played. It was one of the great matches in history".

Among the participants was also Toni Nadal, the mentor of his nephew Rafa, who praised the brand new winner of the French tournament.

Celebrities showed up to Roland Garros for Alcaraz vs Sinner

"He is the tennis player with the best conditions in the world. He is fast, he hits very hard with his forehand and backhand and then he has the advantage of not having coincided with the best Federer, the best Djokovic. He has a great rival who is Sinner, but the rest are very affordable."

That is why the great world tennis coach does not rule out that if new talents do not appear quickly, the Spaniard could win Grand Slam titles quickly. "Equal Rafa? Or maybe he will surpass him. I'm not a fortune teller. But he has the conditions."
