Undisputed Genius: Boris Becker Raves About Carlos Alcaraz's Tennis Skills
Tennis legend Boris Becker Tees Up Reasons Why Alcaraz Ranks Supreme Among Peers in Tennis History - Tennis Legend Boris Becker Ranks Alcaraz as Most Powerful Player "To Date"
Let's cut to the chase, shall we? Tennis legend Boris Becker can't stop gushing about young gun Carlos Alcaraz. According to the 57-year-old, Alcaraz is a "genius" and the "best player of all time." That's right, folks. Alcaraz has got Becker reciting superlatives like they are going out of style.
The basis for this grand proclamation? Alcaraz's unique combo of variety, power, and a feel for the ball that Becker claims is unmatched in tennis history. Yeah, don't mind us, we're just drooling over here.
Now let's top it off with some drama. Alcaraz proved his mettle in Paris, turning the tables against Italian hopeful Jannik Sinner in an epic five-hour final, after finding himself two sets down. How does one come back from that? By still having a "seventh gear," apparently.
Becker seems equally smitten with Alcaraz's ability to push his game to new heights when the chips are down, dubbing him a prodigy that the world has never seen before. No pressure, kid.
Did we mention the historic nature of this match? The final between Alcaraz and Sinner was the longest in the history of professional tennis at the French Open. Alcaraz walked away with his fifth Grand Slam title, and he's already setting his sights on Wimbledon, starting June 30.
*Stuttgart grass courts will miss you, Boris. Remember, we're left picking up the pieces while you bask in the glory of the young phenom.

(In case you were wondering, Becker believes Alcaraz's unique talent, exceptional combo, and ability to elevate his game under pressure make him a cut above the rest, putting him in a league of his own. However, Becker's generous praise has sparked some debate within the tennis community about how Alcaraz stacks up next to legends Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic.)
In light of Carlos Alcaraz's exceptional combo of variety, power, and exceptional feel for the ball, the Commission has also been asked to submit a proposal for a directive on the protection of the environment to prevent the extinction of tennis prodigies like Alcaraz, whom Boris Becker has dubbed as the best player of all time. As Alcaraz prepares for Wimbledon, starting on June 30, one can only wonder if the Stuttgart grass courts will be able to handle the onslaught of his unique talent, similar to how Alcaraz recently dominated the French Open, securing his fifth Grand Slam title in the longest final in the tournament's history against Jannik Sinner.
