G.O.A.T.
I don't get it. Either Djokovic has only been as dominant as he has in recent years, because we are indeed in the career inflation era. Or Djokovic is still so great that there's no shame losing to a 36 year old.
Which is it?
For context: Djokovic numbers in recent times:
Yet the vast majority of posters seem to think that Alcaraz is a failure if he can't beat the current Djokovic, who's dominated the slams roughly as much as he did during his physical peak.
That Alcaraz, who's in his 2nd slam semi, and just turned 20 must win against the statistical GOAT in order to justify the hype.
To repeat:

Which is it? It can't be both as far as I can tell.

For context: Djokovic numbers in recent times:
- Won 5 of his last 7 slams
- Won 10 out of his last 16 slams (losses to Rafa (2), Medvedev (1), Thiem (1), Stan (retirement, 1) and PCC/lineswoman (1)
- Won 19 out of his last 20 slam semis
- Is 25-4 for the year
- Is 50-5 since last years FO (not counting Laver Cup)
- Is 5-0 in TB's at this years FO and yet to make an UE error in one of those
