Interesting statements left by Andre Agassi during his visit to the TiE Global Summit in India. The former world number one and winner of eight Grand Slams did not miss the opportunity to talk about the recent news regarding the alliance between Novak Djokovic and Murray, while also commenting on the abilities of Carlos Alcaraz whom he praises. However, the American remains cautious and warns about the expectations surrounding the young player from Murcia.

"Alcaraz defends like Novak Djokovic, has the power and spin of Rafael Nadal, and has the hands and finesse of Roger Federer," Agassi affirmed, as reported by Sportstar. The American doesn't hold back in his comparisons, making it clear that, in his opinion, Carlos possesses the best skills of the Big 3, including those of the Serbian, whom he will be competing against in the coming season, as well as the Spanish and Swiss players.

Agassi's warning about Alcaraz's future

Despite the praise, Agassi quickly issues a warning: "Having the best of all three doesn't mean he can do what they did. Decision-making, injuries, and luck... there are so many factors at play," said Andre, showing prudence amidst the high expectations arising around the Spanish player due to the comparisons with the Big 3.
