Tennis legend Andre Agassi ‘a little concerned’ about one aspect of Carlos Alcaraz’s game

Eight-time Grand Slam winner Andre Agassi has highlighted one area that Carlos Alcaraz needs to improve, but he believes the rising star still has a lot of time to figure out his overall game.

At the age of 20, Alcaraz is already one of the best active players on the ATP Tour as he has won two Grand Slams and has also spent several weeks at No 1 in the rankings.

The reigning Wimbledon champion took on 22-time Grand Slam winner Rafael Nadal in The Netflix Slam in Las Vegas on Sunday and Agassi had one of the best seats in the house at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino as he was in the commendatory box for the exhibition match.

After the match, the former world No 1 was asked about Alcaraz’s game and he admitted he was impressed by his ability to play on the run, but then also put the spotlight on one facet he needs to work on.

“I really love his game on the move, when he’s in flight, the dynamics and his ability to use the geometry and the pace he can inject,” he is quoted as saying by Tennis Majors.

“I do get a little concerned for him sometimes when he’s on the static side. When his feet don’t have to move as much sometimes he doesn’t know where to direct that energy and he gets set a little too early, not quite the same conviction on his shots when he can be in control of the point.”

The American also believes Alcaraz still hasn’t figured out what his biggest weapon is, but that is not a cause for concern so early in his career.

He added: “When I look at Alcaraz’s ability to bring such an upside, he will struggle with keeping the reins on and not necessarily having to do more than he needs to, in the majority of his matches.

“All greats figure out what their game is built on and they rely on that in the biggest moments. I still question if Carlos has figured out what he’s going to rely on to create that consistent pressure for his opponent that gives him the highest percentage of locking something down. He might serve, volley he might his first ball drop, he can do all of it.

“He’s going to find it, he’s only 20. It’s going to be beautiful when he does. I hope it’s soon and often.”
