The Spaniard’s win at the Australian Open made him the youngest male player ever to complete a Career Grand Slam. Despite this historic achievement, Alcaraz hasn’t won a title since February, and his hold on the world number one ranking is under serious threat from Jannik Sinner.

While speaking with Marca, Ferrero stressed that consistency is the key for Alcaraz if he wants to be considered among the greatest of all time. Ferrero outlines what Alcaraz needs to do to be the best Photo by Mohamed Farag/Getty Images Alcaraz has hit the ground running in 2026, picking up titles at both the Australian Open and Qatar Open, but Ferrero has long believed he could become the greatest ever. Speaking to Marca, Ferrero was asked if Alcaraz can become the greatest of all time, and replied: “Yes, of course.

What he needs to do is keep his motivation intact. “He needs to stay motivated when he’s achieving all the goals he’s set for himself, and then, when his motivation isn’t at 100%, professional discipline has to kick in. “I think Carlos will stay motivated because he knows he has some very important players ahead of him, players who have achieved great success, and he wants to be one of them.

“I don’t see any reason to think his motivation will drop in the short term, and I hope he stays at this level for a long time because he’ll have opportunities to win major titles. ” The Spaniard did have a tough run through Indian Wells and Miami though. He lost matches against Daniil Medvedev and Sebastian Korda during that stretch.
