Auger-Aliassime can beat Nadal or Djokovic but he is still young - Pella
In an interview to ESPN, Guido Pella commented on the next generation. "I have not played with Tsitsipas or Aliassime. I just played with Zverev. I think Zverev will become No. 1. Aliassime is very young, he can beat Nadal and Djokovic but this year and next year he is still up and coming. He is 18 or 19. Thiem will be there too, but he will dominate on clay while on the other surfaces he will struggle."
Pella also commented on the sacrifices of being a high level sportsman: "What I think of tennis is something everyone knows. The only thing I try is to head into the court, do my job as best as possible to win matches. I feel I had to give up a lot to come to where I am. I like to say it because people sees what happens on television, and everything is amazing, we are in Los Cabos and in a five-star hotel... and it's not always like this. I think a couple of years ago I got calm and now I think that tennis gives me what I deserve to. Now I am taking the results and it's something that makes me calm", said Pella, who is a football fan. He cheers for Boca Juniors and hopes to soon meet the new team player Daniele De Rossi who will end his career there.
Pella spoke about his compatriot Juan MartÃn del Potro: "I always said he is the best player of the country and he keeps motivating us to get to the highest level. I know that Juan Martin belongs to another level and he showed it throughout his career, he was unlucky to hurt himself a lot, but he always came back in the best way and hopefully he gives himself another chance to be at the top."
