He met Andre Agassi in Melbourne, who shared a few pictures from their meetup and praised the Wimbledon champ. The Spaniard, who was elated at the support, showcased his respect for Agassi.
As the young star and the veteran legend met, they also had great banter where Agassi even trolled himself as he tried to put himself in the shoes of the 20-year-old.

During their Melbourne meetup, cameras captured Agassi and Alcaraz with big smiles as they engaged in a candid talk. Agassi was holding Alcaraz’s racket and examining the string tension. While the string tension on Alcaraz’s racket has been tailored to his preferences and the needs of the modern game, Agassi found it perplexing.
Agassi then pictured himself playing with the racket and stated, “If I hit with this, it goes..” He then made a gesture implying that the ball would fly all over the place if he used Alcaraz’s trusted weapon. The Spaniards still believed that Agassi would be able to play with it without any issues. But the American believed otherwise and wished Alcaraz a great Australian Open.
