Carlos Alcaraz's coaching team hiding his true weaknesses at Wimbledon – 'I'll tell you this'

Carlos Alcaraz's camp is keeping quiet about any chinks in his armour as the Spanish ace zeroes in on a hat-trick of Wimbledon titles. The men's final will be set up on Friday as Alcaraz's title defence continues against Taylor Fritz, while seven-time champion Novak Djokovic takes on world No.1 Jannik Sinner.

Despite the star-studded semi-final draw, betting against Alcaraz would be a brave move, given his back-to-back final triumphs over Djokovic at Wimbledon and an impressive 19-match winning streak at the All England Club.

At just 22, Alcaraz has been a sensation on the grass courts, but his coaches Juan Carlos Ferrero and Samuel Lopez have hinted his game isn't as perfect as many would imagine.

Facing the media before their player's showdown with Fritz, they were quizzed on where Alcaraz could still polish his game. "There are always small details that can be improved," said Ferrero via Marca.

"We're not going to reveal them here so that his rivals find out (laughs). I think there are always little things to improve. A forehand, a backhand, defence... small things, but they're minor adjustments that stay within the team."

Lopez, who joined Alcaraz's coaching team late last year, cryptically added: "I'll tell you that he has to keep improving his DNA. And I'll leave it at that.

He added: "On grass, you focus a bit more because you know if you put a serve in just the right spot, it does a lot of damage. Here, you always tend to evolve a little more. With Carlos, it evolves day by day."

Despite a shaky start at Wimbledon, where he was unexpectedly stretched to five sets by Fabio Fognini, Alcaraz has found his stride as the tournament has progressed. Ferrero added: "He's gone from less to more since the first match. He's gradually raised his level bit by bit and started feeling better.

"I think the conditions have ultimately been a bit different from Queen's (where Alcaraz won) and required a bit of adaptation. But once into the tournament, I think as he progresses through the rounds, he's showing more and more quality. He's very eager."

Meanwhile, Cameron Norrie, who was dispatched by the defending champion in straight sets in the quarter-finals, has tipped Alcaraz to complete a trio of Wimbledon titles.

Norrie said: "It was a good experience to play probably the best player in the world at the moment, most confident player, on his best surface.

"I think he is the favourite, for sure. His level was unreal. I felt like a lot of the time, if I didn't do enough with the ball, he was going to punish me with a lot of his different options, with power.

"He's got the drop [shot] as well available. So I think I was missing a little bit more because I was pressing a bit more than usual, but I think that's credit to him - his physicality, his movement and power."
