20-year-old recent Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz has witnessed the progression from an untapped potential to a major power. The Spaniard’s incredible Wimbledon triumph over Novak Djokovic has caused a storm in the tennis arena but in an enchanting way. After winning a spectacular Wimbledon title at the age of 20, Alcaraz is receiving a lot of praise within the tennis world.

While everyone congratulated the world’s top player on his accomplishment, several of them also discussed his incredible tennis talent and speculated as to the cause of his historic triumph. Fittingly, Serena Williams‘ childhood coach, Rick Macci, recently gave his opinion on what the 20-year-old tennis player found appealing, sharing a major personality trait that became his friend.

He wrote on Twitter, “@carlosalcaraz life changed even more with one cross-court forehand. But nothing on the tennis court has. Still a ball opponent racquet and enjoying the battle. Everything around you changes. His mindset as I saw 3 years ago would make pressure his best friend.” 

Further, he stated that even though nothing might have changed in his game, pressure always plays a huge part in his victories. He performs better when he knows that things have gotten a little out of control, just like a true friend.

He expressed on his Twitter account that he had not seen tennis talent like him in the previous 20 years. He was particularly impressed with the tennis player’s extraordinarily potent drop shot – he was ranked number one overall.
