Carlos Alcaraz (Spain), the youngest career Grand Slam winner in history, has compared the difficulty levels of tennis and golf.

On February 5 (local time), Alcaraz appeared on the YouTube channel of golfer Bryson DeChambeau (United States), where DeChambeau asked him which sport is more difficult, tennis or golf. Alcaraz replied, "If you are learning just to enjoy it, tennis is easier," but added, "If you compare the level required to become a professional and rank inside the world top 100, tennis is harder."

Alcaraz is currently ranked No. 1 in the world in men's singles on the ATP Tour. On February 1, he won the men's singles title at the Australian Open, achieving a career Grand Slam as the youngest player ever.

He also plays golf quite often. In particular, during last year's US Open, a major tournament, he enjoyed golf so much that he even prepared for his next matches by playing rounds with Sergio Garcia (Spain), who competes on the LIV Golf tour. Alcaraz is a high-level amateur, officially certified with a handicap of 11.2 by the Royal Spanish Golf Federation. Appearing on the YouTube channel of LIV Golf player DeChambeau, Alcaraz played a round of golf with him at a course in Florida, United States, while chatting.

When asked which of the four tennis majors he prefers the most, Alcaraz answered, "Wimbledon." He said, "If I could win a major just once, it would definitely be Wimbledon," explaining that among the four majors, it holds a special meaning for him.
