It's immaterial whether Alcaraz says he's a Federer fan or not. I don't care who he is a fan of. I wish he would forge his own path because I find this copying of Rafa very irritating.

Why Carlitos is not switching to hybrid setup with Natural Gut?
Just like Novak, Roger. Dimi, Serena to name some.
These arm issues can be very dangerous if not addressed correctly.

Cotorro is not Carlos Alcaraz's doctor. His doctor is Juanjo López. Sources:
Dr.Angel Ruiz Cotorro is the director of the Medical Services of the Spanish Tennis Federation, that’s why he has been present at tournaments.

Not technically an injury, but his most famous medical issue were hamstring muscle cramps in the 23' FO semifinal where they were tied 1-set all and he had all the momentum. Djokovic was going to lose that match.

Getting his racket customized isn't a problem for Alcaraz. He said last year that Babolat experts had been working closely with him for more than 10 years.
The Babolat website, 25 August 2023: “For more than 10 years now, Babolat experts have been constantly working close with me [Alcaraz] to provide the best tennis equipment for my performance. Playing with my Pure Aero 98 strung with RPM Blast is more than just having a tennis racquet,” Alcaraz said. “It means I’m a member of the BABOLAT family, and that there are people at BABOLAT I think of as part of my team. They listen carefully to my needs and my feedback, and it’s a constant, constructive two-way process. As a result, I have always been happy with the performance and feel of the frames and strings, and extending this long-term partnership makes total sense.”
World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz and BABOLAT, the world leading tennis brand, announce partnership extension for 7 years until 2030
Tennis’ new superstar Spanish Carlos Alcaraz, only 20-years-old, has played and won with BABOLAT in his hand since he was 10 and will continue to until at least 2030.

I’m sure since we’ve all thought this about his racket that they must have, too, and that there’s something holding him back from it, e.g., feel, whatever. It seems like a no-brainer that would make him deadlier from the baseline without having to exert the pressure he does on his arm/elbow with the current swings he takes.

It's the other way around. The poster you quoted couldn't stand the phrase "Carlos ... If you want to be Nadal" and started convincing readers that Alcaraz is a fan of the poster's beloved player.

Cotorro runs the entire operation. Do you seriously think he’s letting some second rate Murcian doctor do this by himself? He is the Godfather of the entire thing.
I think Cotorro has to be on the hot seat for his handling of Nadal btw. Almost 2 years ago with the first core injury and it still continues.

Dr.Angel Ruiz Cotorro is the head doctor of the teams providing medical care for Spanish tennis players (women & men) at GS tournaments, Olympics, Davis Cup and tennis tournaments taking place in Spain. He has also been Rafa's personal doctor since Rafa was 14 - 15 years old and is the head doctor for the medical team at Rafa's academy since 2022. He has nothing to do with Alcaraz's doctor in Murcia.
You are wrong! Rafa recovered from the injury he sustained at the 2023 AO after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his left psoas tendon at the beginning of June 2023. His doctors said that it would take about 5 months to recover after the surgery. The doctors were right.
He sustained a new injury in Brisbane at the beginning of this year (similar to the injury he suffered the year before). After recovering from the Brisibne injury, he sustained an abdominal injury.
I wonder why you are trying to cheat readers.

Cotorro has been a very good doctor for Rafa. I wonder why you keep repeating your lies.
I repeat what I wrote in my previous post (because you apparently didn't understand what I wrote):1) Rafa has recovered from the injury he sustained at the 2023 AO.
2) Cotorro is not Carlos Alcaraz's doctor (has never been).

Spam? What are you doing on an Alcaraz thread? I always visit your Nadal writings in a respectful way. You come here and accuse me and @Kralingen not knowing what we are talking about. Your obsessive hoarding of everything Nadal is quirky and sweet most of the time, but there are limits.
Novak played every master until 2016,rarely missed any and went deep every appearance.
