"Federer, Nadal, Djokovic and Agassi all wrapped in one": Carlos Alcaraz is 'leader of the clubhouse' in next talents according to Rick Macci

Coach Rick Macci stated that Carlos Alcaraz is the most complete tennis player, incorporating aspects of Andre Agassi and the Big-3.
The World No. 2 did not finish the season at his highest level after winning the title at Wimbledon. Alcaraz reached the final of the Cincinnati Open, the semifinals at the China Open and the ATP Finals. However, in crucial matches, he did not display his best performance. Since his participation in SW19, he had a record of 3-5 against top-10 players, with two of those losses occurring in the Finals. The Spaniard ended the year as the World No. 2, behind Novak Djokovic.
Coach Rick Macci, who previously worked with the Williams sisters, Venus and Serena, recently shared his thoughts on the "Match Point Canada" podcast about the high level Carlos Alcaraz can demonstrate and his strengths that make him the most complete player currently. According to Macci, the 20-year-old Spaniard combines characteristics of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and Andre Agassi.
“Alcaraz, we've never seen anything like this. We’ve never seen it. He is a combination of, I tell everybody, Federer, Nadal, Djokovic and Agassi all wrapped in one,” Macci claimed.
“He has make-up speed like no other. Once he hits that other gear his turbo speed is amazing. He has a drop shot from outer space. He has missed more drop shots as a kid than anybody who has played tennis because he has tried more - and whoever coached him as a kid would not discourage that.”
“I think, he is going to get such a bucket of Grand Slams, it's unreal. I feel, in my opinion, he is by far, the leader in the clubhouse,” he added.
Alcaraz finished the season with six titles, including his second Grand Slam, two Masters 1000 (Indian Wells and Madrid Open), two ATP 500 (Barcelona and Queens Club Championship), and the ATP 250 Buenos Aires Open.
