Recently, Tracy Austin appeared on the Tennis Channel for a conversation about the eight top players who are going to be featured at the year-end championships in Turin. During the conversation, both Austin and renowned tennis journalist Jon Wertheim were asked to pick a name among these players who they think have the best skills. For example, when Tracy Austin was asked to name the player with the best offensive skill, she said, “To me, it’s Alcaraz. I think of him as kind of a swashbuckler and he’s so aggressive.” Then again, when asked to pick one with the best defensive skills, her answer was the same.
Austin said, “The guy (Alcaraz) is a speedster, I think he’s just about the quickest on the Tour. It’s tough to get a winner by him.” What about bringing variation to the game? Who has got more variety in their playing styles? Well, interestingly even here her answer was, “You know I’ve got Alcaraz there, too. I seem to be in love with Carlos. But serve and volley, he can hit huge power. Push him back. The best drop shot in the game. So, drop shot for me! Forward, he’s got the backhand slice. He can lift the ball for spin“She further added that even Jannik Sinner has a lot of variety in his game. He pointed out his performance at the US Open final where he literally used every part of the Court to irritate Taylo Fritz with some low slices. Despite highlighting Sinner’s heroics at the US Open, Tracy Austin has picked Carlos Alcaraz in most of the fields during this conversation. However, this isn’t the first time that she has portrayed her admiration for this Spanish superstar
