Tennis pundit Marcus Buckland has predicted how many Grand Slams he thinks Carlos Alcaraz can win.
The young Spaniard continues to impress after winning his second Wimbledon title this past Sunday.
He dispatched Novak Djokovic in straight sets to become just the fourth man in the Open Era to win four majors aged 21 or under.
The World number three continues to leave audiences in awe and his desire to attain more success in tennis burns bright.
What is Marcus Buckland’s prediction about Carlos Alcaraz?
Alcaraz has already compiled an impressive tennis career at such a young age, and he has no desire to stop here.
The Spaniard has spoken multiple times about wanting to end his career as one of the greatest players of all time.
Grand Slams go a long way to achieving that and the 21-year-old is on his way to reaching double figures, which Buckland believes is possible.
“Jannik Sinner is getting better and better and he is the World number one. I think those two are going to push each other and hopefully we’ll get a similar rivalry because that’s what tennis is all about,” he told TalkSport.
“It’s good for Alcaraz if that happens and hopefully one or two other young players, Ben Shelton’s coming through from the United States so I think men’s tennis is in a pretty good place at the moment and Alcaraz needs to be pushed, I reckon he can win at least 15 Slams though.”
Where is Carlos Alcaraz playing next?
Alcaraz became the sixth male player to win the French Open and Wimbledon in the same season following his 6-2, 6-2, 7-6(6) win over Djokovic.
His attention now turns to the Olympic Games, an event which he will compete in for the first time in his career.
The player will represent Spain in singles and as well as teaming up with Rafael Nadal to compete in doubles.
This dream pairing will compete for the gold medal at Roland Garros, where the tennis event at the Paris Olympics will commence Saturday July 27.
