Carlos Alcaraz has been told that he may never be remembered alongside the likes of Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal unless he changes one part of his game.

Jim Courier loves Alcaraz's overtly risky style - but believes it may hold back the Spaniard.

The former world No. 1 told TNT Sports: “I couldn’t be more torn about this.

"I could not be more in love with the style of tennis he brings to the court and in awe of it because it is something so unique.

“His unbelievably aggressive mindset is so different from the Spanish mentality, which is concentrated and percentage tennis.

“Then the other part of me that wants to see him challenge the all-time great records thinks if he could just do a little less of that, maybe in 15 years’ time we could be looking at you and Novak [Djokovic], Rafa [Nadal] and Roger [Federer].

“I have long admired all the Spanish players as they always get the best out of their game and they never beat themselves.

“Alcaraz is a very different style of player and he doesn’t really have what I would consider the Spanish tennis mentality.”
