Happy 20th Birthday Alcaraz - Birthday prediction, he wins Roland Garros 2023

[DSH]

Can the South tyrolean fox win the title? If not, who will he likely fall to?

Not, unless the Italian wins Rome and arrives with extreme confidence in Paris.
Better that he prepare the assault on Wimbledon and end once and for all with the true sinner of the circuit.

Could we have a Wimbledon 2003 type breakthrough? He shares the same astrology as Roger Federer and Pete Sampras

Happy Birthday to a Great player in the making. May we see him and Sinner and Rune battle like Big 3 in the coming decade. Thank goodness they have arrived or else I was about to move my focus to other sports

Best wishes!

He has been a breath of fresh air to the game, as a teenager he was the only one ever in history to win a slam, become world number one and become year ending number one. A feat that will be incredibly difficult to follow for future generations. A player who essentially has all the shots in the book, the aggressive shot making and jaw dropping inspiring play of Federer, the dogged tenacity and indomitable physical presence of Nadal, the solid indestructible cerebral play and the irresistible omnipotence of Djokovic....Carlos has matured very quickly into an all court player who has brought the wow factor to the court every time he plays. A champion for the generation and quite possibly one of the greatest to ever play the game in the making.

Birthday prediction - Nadal and Djokovic will be placed on the same side of the draw in Paris and will likely hammer each other into oblivion. Alcaraz will be fresh and waiting in the final, whoever comes out of the Djokodal match the winner will have nothing left for 20 year old Alcaraz. Alcaraz to become the first 20 year old to hold slams on multiple surfaces since Wilander in 1983....basically 40 years ago exactly. He's a traliblazer so these type of things will be common with him.

Happy Birthday to CA and AS, and congratulations too, for each getting to the finals.

......breath of fresh air ...... jaw dropping.....tenacity and indomitable physical presence.... cerebral play......wow factor......traliblazer....

Excellent thread opener. Just quoting some snippets worth reiterating.

There was a brief interview with Bjorn Borg (I think on Eurosport) who watched the semi live, and was clearly inspired by CA. Not the most verbose man, he was eloquent in his praise.

Whilst I am looking forward to the fulfillment of the potential that CA,JS,HR and other young players have, the achievements of RF/RN/ND will continue to amaze and inspire.

My tennis cup runneth over - witnessing incredible new talent, having witnessed outstanding greats of the game.
