Roddick stated, “You know, that turning the offense into defense, his body is just electric. The power off the forehand side, mixed with the drop shot, and the joy that he’s playing with again, you know, he’s kind of a victim of his own shadow already, where if it doesn’t play great, we’re like, ‘or what happened with Carlos?

Addressing the doubts against Alcaraz, Roddick added, “Let’s all calm down. Let’s take the temperature. This guy’ going to win 8 to 10 majors minimum, he’s still so young and can do everything.”

Another tennis player who created such a record is Andre Agassi, who had eight Grand Slam titles under his name.

Last year, even the current world number one, Novak Djokovic, praised the rising tennis sensation and highlighted how the future of tennis is in good hands after the emergence of the Spaniard.

Reflecting on multiple matchups with Carlos Alcaraz in the tournament finals the year before, Djokovic voiced hope about the young star’s ability to lead the future of tennis. In an interview with Sky Sports, Djokovic made the bold prediction that Alcaraz had the skill and motivation to advance in tennis.

He stated, “I think tennis, definitely the future is looking good with Carlos leading that field.” He also underlined how important it is to have a player such as the two-time Grand Slam champion in the game, acknowledging Alcaraz as a key player who might shape tennis’ future for the next ten or more years.
