Boris Becker, who coached 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic, predicted that Alcaraz can win major titles at least in double digits.
Alcaraz scripted history when he won the French and Wimbledon this year. While his French Open victory made him the youngest player to win major titles on all three surfaces, he became the youngest to win both the French Open and Wimbledon in the same year.
Look, I think the sky is the limit for Alcaraz. The question is, how long can he stay hungry, and how long can he stay injury-free.Boris Becker said (via Tennis365)
Alcaraz is leading the next generation with four major titles, but he has made himself clear that he is not satisfied with just four of them. He wants to keep going to see himself sit at the top where the likes of Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, and Roger Federer are – with 24, 22, and 20 Grand Slam titles.
