Yes. He just turned 20 in December and is beating top players. Took out Medvedev in the AO this year. Has a ton of upside and may be the best American tennis player in the next few years. Ben Shelton has been playing very well, too.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

MELBOURNE, Australia -- Carlos Alcaraz is the youngest man ever to complete a career Grand Slam after securing the Australian Open title against Novak Djokovic, who had never lost in his 10 previous finals at Melbourne Park.

Alcaraz, at 22 years, 272 days old, showed no ill effects of the severe cramping that nearly derailed his 5-hour epic semifinal win against third-seed Alexander Zverev just 48 hours earlier, as he outhustled and overwhelmed the 24-time Grand Slam champion to prevail 2-6, 6-2, 6-3, 7-5 in 3 hours, 2 minutes.
