Carlos Alcaraz seems to be in a league of his own at the moment. Despite facing tough competition from the likes of Jannik Sinner, who’s another great player in the making, there’s something that sets Alcaraz apart. Probably that’s the reason why even Sinner admits that the Spaniard inspires him to become better everyday. He wakes up in the morning “trying to understand how to beat Alcaraz.”  Well, so much of appreciation can also be overwhelming for Alcaraz. Simply because now he’s expected to be nothing less than perfect.

The pressure of staying the best is real for Carlos at the moment. However, it may increase even further after a wild prediction from tennis icon Serena Williams’ childhood coach Rick Macci. He feels strongly that Alcaraz has the potential to make a lasting impression in his career. Especially, when it comes to his Grand Slam journey going forward.

Rick Macci recently took to X and made a bold claim regarding Carlos Alcaraz. He expects the player to keep getting better and better as he grows as a sportsperson. Addressing the tennis sensation as a “magician”, he made a wild prediction about the Spanish player’s capability to win multiple Grand Slam titles. According to him, Alcaraz will win the Majors in double digit figures.

The Hall of Fame inductee wrote, “There are exactly 21 reasons why Carlos Alcaraz career will be sprinkled with double figure Grand Slam titles maybe like the game has never seen. The Spanish Magician is 21 years old.”

Since turning pro, Carlos has already won four Grand Slam championships so far. After clinching his first-ever Major trophy at the 2022 US Open, he’s not looked back. His biggest advantage is that he’s still very young. That’s probably the main reason why Macci thinks the Spaniard can win many more Grand Slam titles in the long run.

Lately, the rivalry between Carlos and Sinner has also grown tenfold. As of now, it’s as heated as that of Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer’s. Still, Alcaraz seems to be having an edge over his rival according to several contemporaries. They believe the Spaniard is more dominating and impressive to watch on the court.
