Legendary coach Rick Macci on Alcaraz: "Everything is in place for him to be number 1".
Carlos Alcaraz is having an exceptional 2024.
His poor showing at the US Open, where he was beaten in the second round, should not overshadow what he has already achieved.
With titles at Roland Garros and Wimbledon, as well as a silver medal in Paris, Alcaraz has made his mark this season.
Rick Macci, the successful coach of several iconic players, commented: "This is what makes Alcaraz so unique.
There has never been a player on the ATP circuit, at such a young age, who ticked almost every box in terms of weapons.
Speed, technical efficiency, creativity, intensity and calm skills, all come together to make him number one for many years to come."
