London, July 2025 — For tennis lovers, the Wimbledon semi-finals have become not just a great playground, but also an opportunity to understand the game through the eyes of international greats. This time the commentary given by former World No. 1 Andre Agassi during the semi-finals was not just an analysis but an in-depth view that peeled away the layers of the game.
Agassi's eye on Alcaraz
When Carlos Alcaraz was seen running on the court during the semi-final match, Agassi compared his footwork and coverage to an octopus. He said,
"Alcaraz is only 6 feet tall, but covers the court like he has eight legs."
This comment was not just a joke, but reflected the deep technical understanding of an experienced player. Agassi repeatedly praised Alcaraz's strength, mental toughness and resilience, giving the audience an idea of why Alcaraz has become the latest tennis sensation in the world.
Andre Agassi's view of Wimbledon
Andre Agassi, who has won eight Grand Slam titles himself, now views the game as a commentator, but his analysis is a combination of that of a coach, player and philosopher. According to him, tennis is no longer just a game of strength, but brains and cunning play an equal role in it.
"When you watch Alcaraz play, it's not just a rally. He makes you mentally exhausted with every shot," he said.
Why is Alcaraz's style different?
What is most special about Alcaraz's playing style is his mobility and understanding of the depth of the court. When he demolished his opponent in the Wimbledon semi-finals, there was a strategy hidden in every shot.
Agassi called it "intensive coverage" — not just running around the court to cover it, but anticipating shots and responding to them. He added,
"In tennis, nobody wins with their feet. They win with their brains."
Analysis of the semifinals: Agassi's view
Alcaraz's defense in the first set of the match was remarkable. He won six games in 22 minutes, and at times returned the ball with such force that the crowd erupted in applause.
"This guy doesn't play shots, he creates moments. With every rally, he makes the crowd jump out of their seats," Agassi remarked.
Agassi's legacy is reflected in the commentary
Agassi's commentary style is unique. He not only gives an eye-witness account of the game, but also reveals the mental state of the players, their strategies and their body language to the readers and viewers.
His most praised comment was:
"If the court were the ocean, Alcaraz would definitely be an octopus."
This statement garnered thousands of shares and retweets on social media. #OctopusAlcaraz started trending on Twitter.
Wimbledon and the changing nature of commentary
In a prestigious tournament like Wimbledon, the level of commentary has now reached cutting-edge analysis. AI analytics, high-speed cameras, and expert opinions from former players have deepened the tennis experience.
When a great player like Agassi sits in the commentary box, it not only gives information but also inspiration.
Reaction of the audience
After this commentary, the audience also gave their reactions on social media:
"Agassi's words made it feel like I was sitting in a tennis class."
"Calling Alcaraz an octopus is the most accurate analogy that anyone has given till date."
"Agassi has turned commentary into an art."
Is it possible to see Agassi coaching in the future?
When a reporter asked Agassi if he would like to coach a young player like Alcaraz in the future, he smiled and said,
"Probably not, but if I did, Alcaraz would be my first choice."
This shows that Agassi not only believes in Alcaraz's talent but is also proud of his game understanding and mental stability.
Can Alcaraz become part of the future 'Big Three'?
After Nadal, Federer and Djokovic, the tennis world is looking for a player who can create a new legacy. Carlos Alcaraz, with his charismatic play and spontaneity, is a frontrunner in this race.
Agassi's comment, in which he called Alcaraz the 'master of the moment', confirms that Alcaraz is not just a player but a tennis movement.
