Serena Williams’ former coach Rick Macci said that Carlos Alcaraz needs to reach ten Grand Slams before he can truly claim his dream of being the greatest player of all time.
For the past ten years, Carlos Alcaraz has been the most promising youngster. Since the last teenager to make such a significant impact was Rafael Nadal, we haven’t seen a young player as good as him.
Despite his early brilliance, Novak Djokovic’s ascent was a little slower. When he was twenty years old, he achieved his first Grand Slam in Australia; three years later, he would win his second.
Alcaraz is ahead of Djokovic at this age because he has already achieved two goals in addition to a few more. Alcaraz aspires to imitate the Serbian, who went on to assemble the most amazing tennis career we’ve ever seen.
The talent is there, but the process takes a very long time. It’s a long way to number 24, so he must first win his third major, then his fourth. Alcaraz is too talented not to get at least to ten, as renowned coach Rick Macci stated in an exclusive interview.
Macci expressed his thoughts about Alcaraz and said: “I’m not making excuses, I just think it’s a learning process. He’s going to have a bucket of Grand Slams, and what I mean by that way in the double figures, no doubt about it. There’s too much talent. He has more options with his strokes and with his shot making than anybody in the world. But it also can hurt you. It takes you a while to kind of figure that out and it can cut both ways, especially on a big point.”
