Carlos Alcaraz (22 years old, 2 ATP), a champion for the second consecutive year at Roland Garros, is at a good pace and can exceed 22 Grand Slam titles, I believe the Spanish journalists. Andre Agassi, the former world leader, had words of praise to the Iberian, which he compared to Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal.
On Sunday, June 8, at the Philippe-Catrier arena in Paris, Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, the world leader, offered one of the most beautiful great-grandparents in history. The world number 2 returned from 0-2 to sets, saved 3 match balls and, after 5 and a half hours, won by 3-2: 4-6, 6-7 (4), 6-4, 7-6 (3), 7-6 (2).
After the Paris triumph, Carlos Alcaraz reached 5 Grand Slam titles
Due to this success, Alcaraz achieved the 5th Grand Slam title of his career. He won twice at Roland Garros (2024, 2025), twice at Wimbledon (2023, 2024) and once at the US Open (2022).
An impressive coincidence is that the tennis players from Murcia awarded the 5th major trophy at 22, one month and 3 days, exactly the age of Rafael Nadal in 2008, when he defeated Roger Federer at Wimbledon and reached 5 Grand Slam titles.
This is one of the reasons why the journalists from the brand are of the opinion that Alcaraz can overcome their idol and gather more than 22 high -level titles. They say that, throughout history, only Bjorn Borg, the legendary Swedish tennis player, has reached 5 Grand Slam trophies faster than Alcaraz and Nadal.
Another argument offered by the Spaniards is that the double champion at Wimbledon and Roland Garros is a full player on all surfacesan aspect that gives it more chances to win Grand Slam tournaments.
Andre Agassi: “I would say that the grass could be the best surface for him”
Alcaraz has already imposed on all three surfaces: US Open (Hard), Wimbledon (grass) and Roland Garros (slag). Great Andre Agassi believes that grass is best suited for the game of young tennis:
“For me, the best surface for Alcaraz would be surprising here at Wimbledon. In fact, I would say that the grass could be the best surface for him, and the reason I say this has nothing to do with his blows,” said the former world leader, quoted by Eurosport.
Agassi compared the game of Alcaraz with that of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic:
“It has to do with its speed. And with the power of his feet, with his balance in front of the ball. You must remember that this player has a defense and speed comparable to Novak's, if not even better. It has a ball sense comparable to Federer's, sometimes even better. It gives the ball an effect comparable to Rafa's. Maybe even better.
He has to put all these things together when he goes out and then add his extraterrestrial movement. That is, his second step is ridiculous, and believes so much in him that he does not withdraw defensively when you pushed it into the slippery lawn, ”said the Grand Slam winning octu, which dewarded Alcaraz's trophy on Sunday, June 8th.
The next chance for Alcaraz to get a major trophy will come shortly. This year's Wimbledon edition will start on June 30 and will end on July 13.
John Mcenroe, skeptic: “Will they reach 20, 24 titles? No”
You could seriously argue that both players (No. Alcaraz and Sinner) would be favorite to defeat Nadal, in its best form. I think they will reach 20, 24 (titles) any of them? No, because this level is very hard to reach. But these two players, at this moment, are as if you look at NBA and you say that no one can be better than Michael Jordan. The level of tennis at this time is higher than I ever saw
