Andy Roddick, former tennis champion, has expressed high expectations for Carlos Alcaraz, applauding the young Spaniard’s remarkable achievements in the sport. Alcaraz recently faced Rafael Nadal in the Netflix Slam at the Michelob ULTRA Arena in Las Vegas, drawing a global audience via live streaming on Netflix.
In his commentary role at the event alongside tennis legends Andre Agassi, Jim Courier, and Patrick McEnroe, Roddick hailed Alcaraz for his exceptional talent and impressive resume. Reflecting on Alcaraz’s victories, Roddick remarked, “You feel like he’s just getting started and it’s like he won two Slams just for practice. I can’t wait to see the rest of his career.”
Roddick emphasized that there seems to be no limit to Alcaraz’s potential, especially in the wake of the dominance of the ‘Big 3’ – Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, and Novak Djokovic. He even projected that Alcaraz could match or surpass the Grand Slam tallies of tennis greats like Andre Agassi and John McEnroe, who won eight and seven Majors, respectively.
“I think he’s going to be in that range for sure, as a bottom. And I think he has the potential to maybe get double digits. Listen, we have to reset our expectations a little bit,” Roddick stated.
Roddick’s remarks underscore the widespread anticipation surrounding Alcaraz’s future in tennis, with many believing he has the talent and drive to leave an indelible mark on the sport. As Alcaraz continues to make waves on the tennis circuit, the world eagerly awaits the next chapter in his promising career.
