Carlos Alcaraz has been tipped to dominate the ATP Tour if he can improve his serve, according to renowned coach Rick Macci. Despite a stellar 2024 season that included defending his Wimbledon title and winning Roland Garros, Alcaraz finished as world No. 3 behind Jannik Sinner and Alexander Zverev, with Sinner holding a commanding lead in ranking points.
Macci emphasized that refining Alcaraz’s serve could elevate him to the top spot, suggesting biomechanical tweaks to improve precision and consistency. “If his spots and percentage get better, he will be in pole position for many years,” Macci stated.
The 21-year-old phenom aims to complete the Career Grand Slam at the 2025 Australian Open. However, Melbourne has been a challenging venue for Alcaraz, with a third-round loss in 2022 and a quarterfinal exit to Zverev in 2024. Entering as the third seed, Alcaraz looks to turn the tide and establish his dominance in the upcoming season.
