Serena Williams' former coach and former doubles World champion Rennae Stubbs GAVE a warning to World number 3 Carlos Alcaraz ahead of the ATP Finals in Turin. The former 6-time Grand Slam winner has said that the Spaniard has to adapt to the conditions if he wants to win any indoor hard-court tournaments.

Advertisment

The ATP Finals is just two days away and we all will be looking forward to the 8 best players in the season competing against each other in the last ATP tournament of the season. Though there will be a lot of people who will be backing Jannik Sinner, the player who is going to be a close second to the World number 1 is Carlos Alcaraz, who has also had a phenomenal season so far.

Rennae gives a stern warning to Carlitos

There is no doubt that Alcaraz was still one of the top performers of the season but his record on the indoor hard courts has not been the best. The Spaniard faced a surprising elimination against Ugo Humbert in the Paris Masters as well. Former doubles World Champion and Serena Williams's ex-coach Rennae Stubbs also criticized the World number, especially for his statement on the fast conditions of the court.

He said," If you have a fast court, you can come into the net because it’s harder to adjust your position to hit a winning passing shot when you’re getting rushed, So, fast courts indoors, sorry Carlos, you’re going to have to adjust your game. If not, you’re not gonna win indoors."

This is a very big statement by Stubbs, who has warned Alcaraz to adapt to his game. Alcaraz has won a lot of accolades during his career but in the end, he has still struggled to win an indoor Hard Court title. Though these might be some harsh words from Stubbs, she is trying to give the young Spaniard a lesson on what can help him in the future.
