Former doubles partner of Connors says Alcaraz is 'beating the cr*p' out of others and sees improvement since US Open triumph

The former doubles partner of Jimmy Connors, Spencer Segura believes that Alcaraz could establish himself as the best player in the world by far if he keeps up the good play.

There are several good young players that are making steps forward this year such as Sinner and Rune though Carlos Alcaraz seems to be the best one. According to Segura he has a really good chance to create some separation between himself and the other two if keeps up the high level and wins a couple of more events:

“This Alcaraz, he's improved I think since the [2022 US] Open. He's serving much better. Not dramatically, but 15%. So he's 19-20 years old. I'm very impressed. He attacks the second serve like Jimmy did, he's the crossover player. Jimbo said there'd be a guy who could play back, two feet, like Nadal. That defensive game with a spin that could hurt you. This is a guy who could hurt you with his return of serve."

He added:

“And now his serve's improving. So I think he just beats out (other players). So he's obviously improved so I think if he wins these tournaments, he will make a big jump, he will dominate. He's separating himself cuz he's beating the crap out of the other guys.”
