Despite his meteoric rise in the tennis world, Carlos Alcaraz is far from his peak—at least according to his coach, Juan Carlos Ferrero. The former world No. 1, who has been instrumental in shaping Alcaraz’s game, believes the young Spaniard still has significant room for improvement as he aims to dominate the sport for years to come.
At just 21 years old, Alcaraz has already achieved what many players can only dream of—multiple Grand Slam titles, a world No. 1 ranking, and victories over legends like Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal. However, Ferrero insists that his pupil must not get complacent.
“Carlos is an incredible talent, but there are still areas where he can get much better,” Ferrero said in a recent interview. “He’s young, he’s hungry, but to stay at the top, you can’t stop evolving.”
The coach pointed out key aspects Alcaraz needs to refine, including his shot selection, consistency, and mental endurance in long matches. While his aggressive playing style has thrilled fans, Ferrero believes a smarter, more strategic approach could make Alcaraz even more dangerous.
Many believe that if the young Spaniard continues to polish his game under Ferrero’s guidance, he could establish a legacy rivaling the Big Three—Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic. However, with new rivals emerging, the challenge will only get tougher.
As Alcaraz prepares for the upcoming season, one thing is clear—his journey to greatness is far from over. With Ferrero pushing him to new heights, fans can only imagine what the Spanish sensation will accomplish next. The best of Carlos Alcaraz may still be yet to come.
