Carlos Alcaraz has long been tipped things and received lofty comparisons to the likes of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. At the age of 20, the Spaniard already has two Grand Slam titles and a stint as No 1 in the world. And renowned tennis coach Rick Macci has taken things a step further, bringing Andre Agassi into the conversation as he claimed Alcaraz could make a drop shot from \u201couter space\u201d.<\/p>\n
Alcaraz has often drawn comparisons to the greats of the game, as even Djokovic previously admitted that the world No 2 was like a combination of himself, Federer and Nadal after losing to him in the Wimbledon final. He has already surpassed everyone else in his age group and was just 19 years old when he won his first Major and rose to world No 1.<\/p>\n
The Spaniard\u2019s game style has also earned him a lot of compliments, with Alcaraz already known for his trademark drop shot and explosive nature on the court. His ability has prompted top tennis coach Macci to make a bold claim, as he roped in Agassi to explain just how complete the 20-year-old\u2019s game was.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlcaraz, we’ve never seen anything like this. We\u2019ve never seen it,\u201d the former coach of Venus and Serena Williams told the Match Point Canada podcast. \u201cHe is a combination of, I tell everybody, Federer, Nadal, Djokovic and Agassi all wrapped in one.\u201d<\/p>\n

And Alcaraz was another player that the American backed to do great things. He continued: \u201cHe has make-up speed like no other. Once he hits that other gear his turbo speed is amazing.<\/p>\n \u201cHe has a drop shot from outer space. He has missed more drop shots as a kid than anybody who has played tennis because he has tried more – and whoever coached him as a kid would not discourage that.\u201d<\/p>\n With two Grand Slam titles already to his name, Macci backed the world No 2 to pick up a lot more silverware over the course of his career. \u201cI think, he is going to get such a bucket of Grand Slams, it’s unreal. I feel, in my opinion, he is by far, the leader in the clubhouse,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n
