However, Pilic did express uncertainty about Alcaraz’s ability to continue performing at the highest level for a long period due to the numerous injuries suffered at a young age which might impact his physical fitness.
“But are you going to tell me that he will play for another 12 years like today? he’s strong, and he’s a good player, like it.”
“But his body is wasted, that is true. How many injuries has he had so far. Regardless, he plays great.”
