Carlos Alcaraz is predicted by Gael Monfils to achieve “a lot of Grand Slams” and establish himself as “a tennis legend.”

Alcaraz, who turned 20 in May, has already achieved what many want to do over their entire career. At the age of 20, Alcaraz is the best player in the world and a two-time Grand Slam champion.

At the Indian Wells Masters in 2022, Monfils first encountered Alcaraz. In their only encounter, Alcaraz defeated Monfils in straight sets.

Monfils predicted the career of Alcaraz with high hopes and achievements and said: “Carlos is a great guy; a great kid. You know, he’s the beginning of a big legend of tennis. Definitely a champion already, but it’s — I think his goal is to become a legend like those legends that we have in our game. I played him last year. And when I finished the match, I told everybody, ‘Whoa, look out.”

Monfils further added: “His movement was different. His mentality was different. He’s already a champion. When you’re champion, for me, when you win slams, and he already won slams. I feel like he’s on track to win the number for him to become a legend.”
