Former coach of the Williams sisters, Rick Macci, has likened Carlos Alcaraz’s tennis prowess to that of a cheetah. Macci coached Venus and Serena Williams during their formative years.

In a tweet posted on his X (formerly Twitter) account on Wednesday, Macci compared Alcaraz to a cheetah, highlighting the cheetah’s 70 mph speed and 2000 spots for disguise. In tennis, according to Macci, Alcaraz boasts a 21 mph sprint and a drop shot with over 2000 techniques for disguise as well.

“A cheetah can run up to 70 mph. A cheetah has 2000 Spots and uses them as Disguise. One player on tour can run 21 mph and can hit more than 2000 Spots and his drop shot has the ultimate Disguise. Carlos Alcaraz” Rick Macci said.

Carlos Alcaraz has had a remarkable run this season, winning six titles, including Wimbledon. However, unlike the 2022 season, Alcaraz didn’t finish the season as No.1. He sits at No.2 in the ATP rankings behind the 24-time Grand Slam winner Novak Djokovic.
