Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic collectively hold an astounding 66 Grand Slam titles, while the 21-year-old Alcaraz has secured four majors in his career so far.

''I'm not a genius and I don't have a crystal ball. What I can tell you is Alcaraz defends like Novak, has power and spin like Nadal and has hands and finesse like Federer," he told at the TiE Global Summit.

The American star then when onto explain why it is important not to burden Alcaraz with overwhelming expectations.

''Just because he has the best of all those three doesn't mean he can do what they did because there're so many other parts to the game, which mean decision-making, injuries, you know, luck," Agassi said.

Alcaraz has achieved a career-high ranking of World No. 1 in singles, as recognized by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP). In addition to his Grand Slam victories, he has claimed 16 ATP Tour-level singles titles, including five Masters 1000 trophies, and secured a silver medal in Men's Singles at the Olympics. Alcaraz is the third-youngest player in the Open Era to win the Wimbledon men's singles title and holds the distinction of being the youngest player to break into the top 100 of the ATP men's singles rankings.

Coming to Agassi, he won a total of 8 Grand Slam singles titles, including a career Grand Slam, and was known for his powerful groundstrokes and charisma on and off the court. Agassi was ranked World No. 1 and is also celebrated for his remarkable comeback in the late stages of his career.
