Alcaraz is predicted to surpass Djokovic in the number of Grand Slams

"I think Alcaraz can win whatever tournament he attends," Macci told Tennis Infinity on August 7. "Of course no one is completely undefeated. Alcaraz will lose at times. When he meets an opponent who serves well and attacks all the way into dangerous corners, he will be dragged into the tie-break and anything is possible. happen".

Macci is 68 years old, once leading five former world No. 1, including Andy Roddick, Jennifer Capriati, Maria Sharapova, Serena Williams and Venus Williams. This coach is named in the legendary temple of the American Professional Tennis Association. He has coached many talents, but Macci has never seen anyone with a "terrible" level like Alcaraz. "If it weren't for the injury, this guy could have reached a place we've never seen in tennis," Macci said of the Spaniard.

Macci is even optimistic about the ability of Alcaraz to surpass Djokovic in the number of Grand Slams as well as many other prestigious records. "He can do anything," said the American coach. "I think hard courts are Alcaraz's forte, based on his mobility. The way Alcaraz accelerates, stops, slides on the court are all very elegant."

Macci also says that Alcaraz is most vulnerable on grass, where opponents can beat him with a serve. But the Spaniard's Wimbledon championship last month left him completely convinced. "Hard court will be a little easier for Alcaraz in terms of delivery," Macci added. "As I've seen, Alcaraz attacks harder on hard courts. He'll take advantage of your second serve."

Not only admires Alcaraz professionally, Macci also respects the way the 20-year-old player overcomes pressure. He gave an example of situations where Alcaraz lost a series of 20 hits but still smiled. According to Macci, that is the attitude that will help Alcaraz go far in his career.

At the age of 20, Alcaraz already has two Grand Slams and is ranked number one in the world. He's won 47 games and lost just four this year, winning six titles - the most on the ATP Tour this season. Alcaraz is exempt from the first round at the Rogers Cup and will play the second round of the ATP 1000 tournament in Canada on August 9.
