Carlos Alcaraz admitted it is almost impossible to reach Roger Federer’s level of 2005 when the Swiss Maestro lost only four matches in the whole year. Alcaraz won the Laver Cup with Team Europe after he defeated Team World No.1 Taylor Fritz by 6-2, 7-5 on Sunday.

The Spaniard won a total of eight points in the team tournament, which is a record for the most points earned by a single player at one edition of the event.

During the Laver Cup, Alcaraz was likened with Fed 05 but he dismissed the comparisons.

“I’m too far from that level,” Alcaraz said with a smile on his face. “I’m too far. Hopefully one day, but I mean, it’s going to be impossible. So they have to change my name because ‘Fed 05’ is going to be forever him.”

Alcaraz was delighted to win the deciding match against the American after Alexander Zverev won his match against Frances Tiafoe. The Spaniard also teamed up with Casper Ruud and registered a win against Frances Tiafoe and Ben Shelton in the doubles event. Earlier, the four-time Major champion bested Ben Shelton by 6-4, 6-4.

Alcaraz said in Berlin, “It’s great obviously. We came here with a goal, all of us. It was to win the Laver Cup.”

He continued, “I’m really happy, I think everybody for us is, we are really, really happy about reaching our goal, winning the Laver Cup. All of us did pretty good work over the days.

“It’s been a really tough one. We almost lost but Sascha (Alexander Zverev) came up with really good tennis and gave me the chance to win the Laver Cup. I think we are really, really happy with, with with everything.”

Alcaraz will next take part in China Open, which is set to get underway from September 26.
