The former coach of Serena Williams, Maria Sharapova, and Andy Roddick, the American Rick Macci is mesmerized by Alcaraz. Rick is more than amazed to watch Alcaraz play in the Madrid Open till now. In his recent tweets, he is flooding the emotions he felt after watching the 19yo can do. Carlos Alcaraz will be the new GOAT, says William’s sister coach Rick Macci.
i have seen federer, nadal and djokovic when they were young, but i haven’t seen anyone like carlos alcaraz
says Rick Macci
Rick believes that he was wrong in saying that Carlos Alcaraz at the age of 24 will have 10 grand slams as he is convinced that he will have more. He defined Carlos as “fearless”. Rick is damn confident about him inspiring many and will change the game as it is played.

What Rick believes can stand out to the world very soon as Carlos is ready to see himself there too. Carlos achieved 4 titles in less than one year including Barcelona, ATP Masters 1000 Miami, Rio in 2022 and Umag Open in 2021. He is in yet another ATP Masters 1000 Final and will face Alexander Zverev on Sunday, May 8.
It is quite clear from the current year’s stats that Alcaraz is not very far to break these numbers. At this early age, he achieved so many records defeating two from the Big three. The upcoming tournaments and matches will be very bright for this young player.
