Fruto do seu protagonismo no tênis aos 21 anos, Carlos Alcaraz já virou alvo de elogios e críticas em vitórias e derrotas. Desta vez, o também espanhol e ex-top 10 Roberto Bautista Agut ligou o sinal de alerta para o comportamento do jovem talento ao comparar com as carreiras de Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer e Novak Djokovic.
— O tênis de alto nível exige muito, eu não acho que o Carlos (Alcaraz) vá ganhar Grand Slams se for dormir às 7h da manhã. O tênis é muito exigente, agora tudo parece muito bonito e ele é muito jovem, mas precisa entender que, se quiser igualar os números do ‘Big 3’, vai precisar jogar 15 anos em alto nível. Eu o considero um jogador e uma pessoa inteligente, e tenho certeza de que ele vai perceber, pouco a pouco, o que precisa fazer para chegar a esse nível e, com certeza, vai colocar isso em prática — afirmou Agut.
Em seu documentário recém lançado na Netflix, Alcaraz disse que pretende alcançar os níveis de Nadal, Federer e Djokovic, mas do seu próprio jeito:
— Em 2023, eu já estava bastante cansado mentalmente. Eram 24 horas por dia, 7 dias por semana, pensando em tênis. No Roland Garros daquele ano, perdi para Novak Djokovic na semifinal, e meus amigos estavam de férias em Ibiza. Eu disse: ‘Caramba, amanhã estou indo pra lá’. Fui basicamente pra me acabar, não sei se está certo dizer assim, mas sim, fui pra curtir. Quando tenho uma chance dessas, aproveito ao máximo. E na volta, claro, ganhei Queen’s e Wimbledon. Não digo que ganhei por causa da festa, mas aqueles dias me fizeram bem, e sou do tipo que, se uma coisa dá certo, tem que repetir.
Na última quinta-feira, Alcaraz desistiu de jogar o Masters 1000 de Madrid devido a uma lesão sofrida no músculo adutor da perna direita na final perdida do ATP 500 de Barcelona para o dinamarquês Holger Rune. Após disputar 10 partidas em um intervalo de apenas 12 dias, ele busca se recuperar a tempo para disputar o Roland Garros, segudo Grand Slam da temporada e com início no dia 25 de maio.

Liverpool are Premier League title winners.They only required one point from their final five league games to earn their second Premier League trophy, and English record-equalling 20th title overall, but got the job done in style by defeating Tottenham Hotspur 5-1 on Sunday to round off a remarkable first season in charge for head coach Arne Slot.AdvertisementThe celebrations began well before the final whistle and will continue long after the campaign and trophy parade are over.Here’s The Athletic’s recap on what happened and what comes next.How big a surprise was it that Liverpool won the title?On Sunday?

Marcus Rashford expected to miss remainder of season with hamstring injury
Marcus Rashford is expected to miss the remainder of Aston Villa’s season with a hamstring injury.Further tests will be done to establish the severity of Rashford’s injury but it is not anticipated that he will need surgery.Villa have only four Premier League games to go in their season and the last of those is against Rashford’s parent club Manchester United on May 25, where he is ineligible to feature, meaning it is highly likely his club campaign is over.
