Do you think he wins 20 more slams? Will injuries not slow him down? Do you think he will get 450+ weeks at no.1?
Who knows about world number 1 but he will win a bucket load of 20 slams

All the big records currently belong to Djokovic:
Most Slams
Most weeks #1
Most YE#1
Most ATP Finals
Most M1000
Carlos' height is death sentence when it comes to the GOAT race, but it's not a big problem for becoming ATG. 2023 fu**ed his chances at YE#1 record big time (after getting a great headstart in 2022). Now Fedal's YE#1 numbers won't even tie the record for him. His current big titles pace is also lacking if he wants to get close to them (everyone's assuming he'll speed it up, as he's still in the headstart phase). Again, ATG career seems inevitable for him, but very top is highly unlikely.

He won’t even get close. Physically he will be broken down in a few years unable to track all those balls down. When you’re 21 it looks great. Call me in 3-5 years when his movement is only half of what it is now
I think it's impossible to accurately predict when the next Big 3-esque player will come about. You have to keep in mind that many all-time greats never even reached 10 grand slams. He has great potential, and should definitely be an all-time great, but we've been spoiled by the Big 3. Even if he stays healthy, and it's a big if, the odds are still against him.

So 22 more slams needed and 450 weeks at no.1, thing is Carlos is winning these slams in 5 setters, can someone hold Alcaraz to only 1 slam per season? If the tour can restrict Carlos to 1 slam per season, Pete record of 14 will be safe, but if tour fails and Carlos has multiple 2-3 slam seasons hes going to break Pete tally of 14, but after that 6 more is needed to break Feds, thats Becker like numbers once Pete is surpassed, tall task.

He needs to stay healthy and fit for a sustained period like the big 3 have relatively been, even more so. THEN we can see what he can.
8-12 Slams at this point. Then again we said the same for Djoker and Nadal at the some point.....

Why does it upset you so much that Nadal doesn't have a losing slam finals record against anyone and why are you already bargaining and worried about Djokovic's records that Alcaraz is hunting?

On Twitter, suddenly the actual stats are not the main thing, it is context and apparently Alcaraz has 2 asterisked slams lol. According those usual suspects who claim to be a fan of one player.

Carlos is the mentally strongest player on tour, with best attack and defence, best 5 set player, with highest peak level. Hes probably going to win 1 more slam this season, end 2024 with 4 slams which is his head start over NOVAK and even Federer.

Why are you so upset that your guy lost all the big races and feel the need to gaslight yourself in order to feel better? Just becaue all of your history up until this point on this forum ended in a failure doesn't mean it has to keep being this way.
Djokodal and Alcaraz have one "dirty" slam each.

Carlos is coming for the win percentage, his coming for the career slams, there will be Carlos slam soon, Gold medals too, there is nobody on tour that can beat this guy in 5 setter.

Then he's going to end up with a staggering total of 41 slams!
Since he's going to hold every single tennis record, Carlos will retire with:
11 AO's
15 RG's
9 Wimbledon's
6 USO's
Who knew!? Boy, for all you bandwagoners, it's overdue to hop aboard Train Tiny.

Well Nadal vultured RG. I’m not sure what slam Carlos can vulture like that to get close. I’m sure eventually some younger guys step up in the next season or two.

Who knew that one of the most toxic corners of the Internet would be a tennis message board? Can’t we just be happy that we finally have a young player who has an all-court game, is willing to take risks, and comes up big in the important moments? Between Sinner and Alcaraz we will have some good matches over the next decade and I’m here for it.

I’ll be happier when we have all new top guys and we have sinner/alcaraz finals and that Zverev/tstsipas/Med gen finally hit the road. They just drag the game of tennis down

Fed and Nole had only 1 slam at the same age as Carlos who has 3. Charlie might win at least 1 more slam this season to make it 4 in his head start phase. Its a possibility that he breaks 25 slam barrier, not a big percentage chance but the chance is there.

A lot can happen in 9 years. Let's wait and see.

Right now Carlos in spectacular position, Nole and Fed had 1 slam, Charlie already up at 3, might be 4 or 5 by the end of the year,

Plenty of players started quick and fell off, whether due to injury or demotivation, or other things. A decade is a long time.

Well he’s quite a bit ahead of Federer and Djokovic at same age. He’s on track but the future is unpredictable. Let’s enjoy the ride!

Fed's 5x5 is terrified about how safe it is.

Not most Olympic Gold in singles.
And not most titles in a Slam.
So not all the big records belong to Djokovic.

Lol this feels like a post in 2006 about Nadal

Nadal is a rare breed. But he also has the GOAT forehand let’s not forget. Alcaraz would need to vulture a slam and win double digits at that slam. That’s not easy to do. Just because Nadal did it doesn’t mean anyone else ever will. He’s the rare exception not the rule

Each of Alcaraz slam wins have had 5 setters, so hes not winning them that easily, secondly he has peaked early can he now keep this up without getting burned out?

Does he finish 2024 with 3 slams, 4 or 5 ? what you think ?
Imagine once he starts putting things together like Djokovic and Federer at their peak and demolishing opponents.. Right now, he is flamboyant and enjoys the scenic ride. We are in for a great time.

Lol what younger guys? Carlos was number one and slam winner at 18, nobody on sight comes even close to that, no Fonseca, no that italian Guy, no one... If a Young Guy is gonna step Up and put Up a Battle, It definetly is not going to be in one or two years, that Guy is not currently on the pro tour
If Jannik or Carlos get the CYGS , then several in the media and public will rate them exclusively as a special one, that the big 3 did not get.

Probably 4. Djokovic is out the picture right now so that changes the equation.
It could be 5, if things align. At a minimum 4.

Do you think he breaks 237 consecutive weeks at no.1? 23 consecutive semis? 36 CONSECUTIVE QUARTER FINALS? 18/19 finals in a row.
I have to give it to him that he is just plain brilliant.
Wins slams with his B game. He will annihilate the competition at his peak. Without a doubt the best of his generation.
Can others catch up. We will see.
20+ slams is still a super tall order. Would wait for him to reach 15 to talk about 20

I think his focus will be on being a dominant No 1, win many majors and a CYGS.
So, i think he will gun for RF's 237 weeks , Margaret Court / Novak's 24 and Steffi's Calendar slam.

it is more importante that fed and nole had each other and rafa as main rivals plus muzza and very dangeros wawa. carlos has non of that calibar as opponent. but he most be in form for many years and all can happen in that time. we will see whats comming. as of now no1e has all main records with pretty big margin.
