BEIJING CHAMPION 🏆 In a breathtaking final, @carlosalcaraz fights back to defeat the defending champion Sinner 6-7(6) 6-4 7-6(3) for the #ChinaOpen title! @chinaopen
Former world number one Serena Williams’s ex-coach, Rick Macci, has called Spain’s young tennis sensation Carlos Alcaraz the ‘most complete player’ he has ever seen. The 21-year-old is already regarded as one of the best players currently playing in men’s tennis in the singles category, along with Italy’s Jannik Sinner and Serbia’s Novak Djokovic.
Alcaraz once again showcased his talent and class in the
recently concluded China Open. He lifted the title after beating world
number one Sinner in the final in a thrilling contest with a score of 6-7, 6-4,
7-6 on Wednesday. It was his third consecutive win over the Italian in the
calendar year and it was his fourth title as well.
In a post on social media platform X — previously known as Twitter — Macci praised Alcaraz and called him the ‘most complete player he has ever seen'. The 69-year-old also praised both players and compared their rivalry to the famous ‘Big Three’ rivalry, which dominated men’s tennis for a good
part of 20 years.
“He is the most complete player I have ever seen,” he wrote.
“Every box is checked from the technical to mental with imagination and
inspiration. Throw in turbo speed and cotton soft hands and drop shot with
better disguise than any Halloween costume in the room. The Spanish magician
(Alcaraz) and Italian flamethrower (Sinner) are cut from the same cloth. Both
have the juice and play loose. Both are getting better and have that DNA Grand
Slam inner quality like Joker, Rafa and Federer.”
Before winning the ATP 500 event in China, the young
Spaniard won the French Open after beating Germany’s Alexander Zverev in the
final in a five-set thriller with a score of 6–3, 2–6, 5–7, 6–1, 6–2, the
Wimbledon title after beating Djokovic in straight sets with a score of 6-2,
6-2, 7-6 and the Indian Wells after beating Russia’s Daniil Medvedev in straight
sets with a score of 7-6, 6-1.

- He's a Cool Dude (and very funny guy). Always fun to be in the presence of Tomasz. Something he mentioned here is what many who have coached at any level can relate to -- "the crazy parents committee". It relates to my coaching experiences in kid's sports. My #1 complaint about coaching kids is Problem Parents!! It can be a very abusive, even violent situation with many parents when it comes to their kid's sports. In the end, it was no longer worth the potential (all too common) altercations for me and I quit. But thanks to Tomasz, I now have a name for those (you?) people: The Crazy Parents Committee.mandoist26-09-2024
