Alcaraz Has Qualities 'Never Seen Before At His Age' According To Former Federer's Coach

Paul Annacone, Roger Federer's former coach, believes that Carlos Alcaraz is the most complete young player we've ever seen on the ATP Tour.

It's not a grandiose statement by any means because it's been said so many times already. Alcaraz is certainly one of the most complete young stars to emerge in recent memory. Some of the things he did were quite special, including becoming the youngest world number one ever.

That doesn't just happen by chance and it came after a sudden and dramatic rise as a teenager. His Wimbledon triumph over Djokovic further cemented his status as a special player and now it's about finding out how his career shapes out.

He's good enough to win 10+ Grand Slams, which is something that Federer's former coach, Paul Annacone, who spoke on the Rock n Roll Tennis Podcast, certainly sees in his future.

We'll see what happens in the coming months, but he's at that stage in his career where he could be winning one if not two Grand Slams per year. Time will tell if he does.
