Carlos Alcaraz feels the heat as agent rages at client over lack of respect

Carlos Alcaraz's agent Albert Molina has expressed his frustration with the tennis star over what he perceives as a lack of respect. Molina has been a guiding figure in Alcaraz's career since discovering him at the age of 12. The Spanish prodigy - who recently showed where he keeps his trophies - has since become one of the biggest names in tennis , securing the world No.

1 spot at just 19 and adding three more Grand Slams to his name after his 2022 U.S. Open triumph.



However, despite his undeniable talent, Alcaraz's commitment and professionalism have occasionally caused tension with his coaches and agent. This was highlighted in the recently released Netflix docuseries - 'Carlos Alcaraz: My Way' - where Molina reprimanded the young player for being late to an obligation. Tommy Fleetwood's wife makes her feelings clear on 23-year age gap PGA Tour set to axe controversial tournament rule after years of criticism "There are times when you can be a tad late but.

.. It's annoying but today, mate, be on time," Molina told Alcaraz.

Speaking directly to the camera, Molina added: That day I got very angry with him, but not because of punctuality. It bothered me not because of being late. For me, it was a lack of respect towards other people and that's what I cannot tolerate with Carlos.

" Molina was overheard reprimanding Alcaraz, saying: "It doesn't matter if you're number one in the world, nobody has to wait for you, Carlos." He jokingly pondered his agent's reaction to punctuality before Alcaraz, with a chuckle, admitted his error to Molina: "I know I'm not in a position to say anything. I'm in a position to lower my head and take the hits.

And I know it. The good thing is that I know it." Wrapping up, Molina reflected: "In the end, we're talking about a lad with many responsibilities that he hasn't asked for, but the important thing is that he understands that what we say and do is for his own good.

He will have to sacrifice a lot to be the best tennis player in history, but he is already number 1 in the ranking as a good kid." The Netflix series delves into Alcaraz's battles with stress and exhaustion inherent in tennis. It illustrates that the Spaniard needs periodic breaks from the game to prevent feeling overwhelmed.

Through the documentary, viewers learn that Alcaraz struggles to play his best tennis unless he's mentally happy and relaxed, leading to occasional tension within his team. His mentor, Juan Carlos Ferrero, suggests at one juncture that the path to becoming "the greatest player of all time" might turn one into a "slave" of the sport. One of the most stark moments in the series is when Ferrero questions Alcaraz’s commitment to achieving his grand dreams.

Ferrero remarked: "He has a different way of understanding work and sacrifice" - while comparing his player to 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic, considered by many as the greatest player ever. "It's so different that it makes me question whether he can really be the best in history.".
