Tennis Legend Jimmy Connors recently lauded 20-year-old Carlos Alcaraz for his attitude on and off the court.

The eight-time Grand Slam champion praised the Spaniard’s go-big or go-home attitude. Alcaraz has some major achievements to his name, including two Grand Slams and etching his name as the youngest ATP World No. 1. This being said, he also has a fascinating passion and energy on and off the court.

“I like his attitude. I like it; not only the way he talks off the court but also the way he is on the court; and the way he goes at it. The way he gives it his all,” Connors said on the Advantage Connors podcast, 'Sinner wins Beijing' episode [33:20].

“And I like seeing that - those guys that are digging, getting in the dirt, getting dirty and grinding and know just what it means to be the best player in the world or to win a Major Championship; to know what it means to them personally, but also to tennis in general. That helps carry the game - these young guys. They are the sellers now,” he added.
