Boris Becker projects Carlos Alcaraz’s number of Grand Slam victories.
Carlos Alcaraz’s low estimate of the number of Grand Slam victories he will win in his career has been made public by Boris Becker.
At just twenty-one, Alacarz won his fourth Grand Slam earlier this month when he defeated Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon final.
The Spaniard accomplished the feat of winning his first four Grand Slam finals more quickly than Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and Roger Federer, becoming him just the second man in the open era to do so.
In addition, he made history by becoming the youngest person to win Wimbledon and the French Open consecutively, igniting a discussion on how many Grand Slam championships Alcaraz may ultimately win.
Alcaraz remarked, “Obviously, I’m off to a really great start in my career, but I have to keep going and keep creating my path.”
“I want to be seated at the same table as the big guys when my career comes to an end.” That’s what I want most. I’m currently dreaming of that. Even if, at age 21, I had already won four grand slams, it makes no difference. It doesn’t matter if I stop competing in these competitions.
“I’m not sure what my limit is. I’d rather not give it any thought. All I want is to continue living in the now and dreaming. So let’s see if it will be 25, 30, 15, or 4 at the conclusion of my career.
Alcaraz has said in the past that he thinks he may come near to matching Djokovic’s incredible record of 24 Grand Slam victories; Federer finished his career with 20 major victories, while Nadal now holds 22.
The legendary tennis player Becker has now predicted how many Grand Slam victories Alcaraz will have since he believes the Spaniard will easily reach double digits.
How long can he go without food and without being hurt? is the question.
“He has a really physical style of tennis and has a history of injuries, so I’m crossing my fingers that he can stay healthy.
“Look, I wouldn’t be shocked if he didn’t have double-digit Grand Slam titles if he can continue to play at this level for ten years.
That implies that once he hits ten, who knows how many will be left.
“We must acknowledge that there is a long road ahead and that many unexpected events could occur.”
One of the most widely awaited attractions of the Paris 2024 Olympics is Alcaraz’s pairing with fellow Spanish great Rafael Nadal in the Olympic doubles games, and Becker is excited about the idea.
For Spain, this is a dream, Becker continued. “One of the all-time greats, Rafael Nadal, is playing with his successor. It’s amazing to watch them strive for a gold medal.
Although neither is well-known for their doubles performance, they are both capable of becoming excellent when playing doubles.
After winning Wimbledon, Almaraz must be feeling incredible, and his relationship with Rafael Nadal is one that will go down in history. Without a doubt, everyone will be watching.
Becker won the gold medal in doubles at the 1992 Olympics, and if Nadal and Alacarz add their names to the list of champions in Paris in 2024, it will be one of the most memorable moments of the competition.
