Legendary tennis coach, Rick Macci believes that it will be a marathon not a sprint, but that Carlos Alcaraz will conquer all four Grand Slams during his career.

Novak Djokovic for instance didn't win many Grand Slams earlier in his career, but as he matured as a player, he took over which is a similar route that Alcaraz currently on two Grand Slams will look to take. 

A tennis career is a Marathon not a Sprint. Today is important but all your Yesterdays determine Tomorrow. It is not where you Start it is where you Finish. I have ZERO doubt that his Four Best Friends will have one thing in common and the last name is SLAM. @carlosalcaraz

Djokovic at 23 had one Grand Slam, Nadal had nine Grand Slams and Federer at 29 had 16. For the former two, this proved to be a good omen, as well as for Stan Wawrinka who perhaps is one of the most underrated of all time and managed to take slams a lot later in his career. Macci shared his thoughts on the path of Alcaraz as a result and how he believes he will follow a similar stride.
