Carlos Alcaraz set to dominate tennis for the next decade after fixing his serve according to journalists

As the build-up to Wimbledon continues, it feels like Carlos Alcaraz is once again the favourite to lift another Grand Slam title — even though he’s not the world number one.

With a third consecutive Wimbledon crown in sight, it’s hard to see where, or more importantly who, could stop the impressive Spaniard. Adding to the momentum behind Alcaraz is his incredible comeback win against Jannik Sinner in the French Open final. After falling two sets behind in the best-of-five contest, Alcaraz showed grit and determination to turn things around and defeat the current world number one.

All of this sets the stage for what promises to be a thrilling Wimbledon campaign — for both fans and players alike.

Alcaraz took a week off after his gruelling French Open final and spent some time away from the sport in Ibiza, where he relaxed and recharged. He returned at the Queen’s Club Championships and, unsurprisingly, breezed through the field. Alcaraz went on to win the final against Jiri Lehecka, claiming his second title at the traditional Wimbledon warm-up event.

However, despite his dominance since bursting onto the professional scene, there has always been one part of Alcaraz’s game that could give his opponents a chance — his serve. At times, he could be a little sloppy in that area, which left the door open. But according to journalist Charlie Eccleshare, that issue now seems to be resolved:

"after the Munar match he actually, you know, he was asked, you show signs of frustration, are you disappointed? Maybe that you let yourself boil over or whatever? He (Alcaraz) was like, “No, that can happen. What I’m annoyed about is my serve, it wasn’t good enough. I need to be better”, basically. So clearly that’s a big preoccupation right now, especially, the fact that we’re playing on grass".

"And I’m sure he does think about that Djokovic final apart, from that weird last game where he blew it. That was the best serving performance I’ve ever seen from him. And if he serves like that, then, I mean, where’s the chink? What do you attack? Because that’s the one thing that gives some players hope, I think".

One thing that clearly weighs on Alcaraz’s mind is the need to improve his serve. As pointed out by Eccleshare, if he can take that part of his game to the next level, it could leave very little hope for anyone trying to stop him.

Catherine Whitaker, who is the host of 'The Tennis Podcast' would agree with Eccleshare on his points:

‘Right, that’s what I was thinking throughout those last couple of matches from Carlos Alcaraz, both in which he broke his own ace record for a best of three set matches, he did it in the semi-finals very comfortably in a two-set, 6-4, 6-4 win over Roberto Bautista Agut".

"I think he hit 15, 15 in that match, was it? And eight in the first set, and then he hit 18, I think, in the end in the final. But of course, that was three sets. Both still records for best of three set matches".
