Alcaraz plans to sit at the head of the big 3 table, as the new tribal chief - Acknowledge him

[Hitman]

Alcaraz has stated he wants to sit at the table of the big 3 and ultimately surpass them with the career trajectory he is on.

The most complete game for a 21 year old ever seen in the history of this game, the greatest youngster since Borg, as after today he has surpassed Nadal for greatest youngster for this century.

The youngest channel slam winner of the open era, the youngest world number one, the youngest year ending world number one. The records keep falling.

The real greatest may just be starting, and we could be in for a ride of our lives we have never seen before.

Acknowledge him. The new tribal chief of professional tennis.

 

[Tano]

No one has reached the heights of Alcaraz's game at such a young age.

 

[Mainad]

Hope Sinner will stay healthy enough to make him a worthy rival.

 

[MichaelNadal]

No one has reached the heights of Alcaraz's game at such a young age.

I acknowledge him

 

[TheSlicer]

Hes already shown the best peak of tennis i have ever seen along with federer, and im sure its not his total peak yet

 

[ND-13]

He is the chosen one !!

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Alcaraz is inevitable! He will become the GOAT/BOAT of tennis!

 

[ND-13]

I urge all of TTW to unite in the support of Alcaraz and send him positive energy !

 

[Lleytonstation]

Lets also remember he has 4 slams and how many masters? How many weeks at number one?

Let us at least respect the game and the past greats and curb this sensational godlike nonsense until he reaches double digit slams.

 

[Lleytonstation]

We take slams for granted. We are literally gifted him 15+ plus with this kind of talk. Potential? Sure, but it is way down the road. He is one Delpo injury away from being a what if.

Crazy how TTW drools.

Afraid that Alcaraz's numbers will get bigger and bigger?

 

[inflation_era]

What's the latest scuttlebutt on whether Novak is playing USO???? OP must know.

 

[Lleytonstation]

Afraid that Alcaraz's numbers will get bigger and bigger?

They likely will. When he has 10 slams before he is 28 then we can have this conversation. Till then... chill.

Who is going to stop him? Serious question?

 

[Lleytonstation]

and yes lol

At 21 years and 1 month, he has 20 weeks at No 1 and 5 masters, winning 2 IW, 2 Madrid and 1 Miami. Not the easiest of masters.

He is a generational talent and deserves every bit of praise showered. This thread just states he is ready to join them and the euphoria is justified.

Barring injuries, he will have a ATG career, irrespective of the number of majors he ends up with. And there is no disrespect to the big 3 on this thread.

 

[Lleytonstation]

Who is going to stop him? Serious question?

Well if this sinner guy can actually show up, maybe him. Also, if no one comes along to challenge him it wont matter the numbers he puts up if he never has a challenger.

 

[Tano]

and yes lol

Just enjoy the Alcaraz show with a child's smile.

 

[Mainad]

I urge all of TTW to unite in the support of Alcaraz and send him positive energy !

Novak leads the way:

 

[ND-13]

With 3 GOAT's , they were able to achieve 20+ majors each.

If it is just going to be between these 2 for the most part, imagine the scenes we are going to witness. They just need to stay healthy and plan for the long road.

 

[The_Order]

Nah... let's wait and see he has a very long way to go still... calling him tribal chief now is likening him to Solo Sikoa...

I mean it kind of it is disrespect. He has to win 25 slams to be the greatest ever, and he is at 4...

We are literally saying another 21 slams is not that crazy.

Well staying healthy isn't easy. But yeah if it is just them two you might be right. I also do not seem them being as dominated for long stretches.

 

[ND-13]

If we say Fonseca is going to be the GOAT, we are insane. We have seen this guy for 2 full years now. How can anyone not be excited ?

The naysayers only hope is that he gets injured. And that tells everything. Not every 21 year old tennis career is curtailed by injury. If Delpo, Hewitt, Nalbandian flattered to deceive , we have the examples of the big 3.

I say he has already shown in an emphatic manner to which group he belongs.

After all isnt it fun, to start the ride early enough ?

 

[ND-13]

If he gets 15+ majors, 300 weeks at No 1, perhaps an Olympic gold and may be a CYGS if he is lucky and has a phenomenal year, he will chart his own path to the top.

He needs 25+ slams lol

 

[ND-13]

He needs 25+ slams lol

To be spoken in the same breadth as the big 3, those would suffice. I think you are looking for him to surpass Djokovic slam count.

 

[xFedal]

He needs 25+ slams lol

Hes winning slams at fast pace now BACK TO BACK SLAMS, hes making winning slams look easy, beat Novak easily in straight sets.

 

[Razer]

Who is going to stop him? Serious question?

Great players always emerge younger to you no matter how good you are, the true roadblocks to Alcaraz are probably 14-15 years old now. If there were no great players for Alcaraz 16 years above him in age then this means players as great as him 5-6 years younger could emerge and when that happens, he will start to lose everything.

When Federer started dominating the tour it was far more dominant than Alcaraz/Djokovic, we never thought anyone as good as Federer can ever set foot on earth, when Nadal emerged then for some years we thought this guy is just a clay courter and nowhere as talented as Fed, then Nadal became a champ on all the surfaces and later out of nowhere Djokovic emerged, Novak was a second tier guy like Musetti/Rune types with much less hype than Rune when he came and then he rose to become a beast.

So we cannot predict anything now, as @Lleytonstation said, let him reach 10+ by age 28 which I am sure he will quicker than that at this rate, he could be on 12-14 slams by 25-26 and then we need to assess on how far he is from the 20 mark and who are the teens/guys younger to him in the top 100, that will tell you whether he can reach 20 or not, and when he approaches 20 then and only then will we know whether he can cross 24 or not, even at 14-15 slams you cannot predict whether he will reach 24 or not.....

Hi, I see you are new here. Let me show you around.

 

[pirhaksar]

Clearly looks like the way he showed up today resigned to defeat, Novak himself is leading the cheerleading for Raz!

 

[Tano]

I mean it kind of it is disrespect. He has to win 25 slams to be the greatest ever, and he is at 4...

We are literally saying another 21 slams is not that crazy.

Alcaraz's hunger to be the biggest winner in history is quite enormous.

 

[Daniel Andrade]

Crazy how TTW drools.

Let us enjoy for today!

He has potential to do whatever he likes with that game he has but as you say there are so many things that needs to align for a professional athlete. No major injuries or reoccuring ones that halts you, motivation, what happens when Alcaraz approaches the 30s mark and eventually legs don't feel as youthful anymore, can you compensate for that? Etc etc etc. So many things needs to align if we talk 10-15+ slam winner. It's not just about potential.

 

[BigThreeForever]

Southern Europeans have been dominating tennis for so long, need another Borg from Northern Europe to come in that's not Ruud or Rune.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Well if this sinner guy can actually show up, maybe him. Also, if no one comes along to challenge him it wont matter the numbers he puts up if he never has a challenger.

Records always count no matter what!

 

[FlyingSaucer]

Love this little AlcaGOAT guy.

I will wait for his version of the finger wag before I acknowledge him as any kind of chieftain.

 

[ND-13]

Hi, I see you are new here. Let me show you around.

I think the TTW tradition is to compare based on majors achieved at the current age of the youngest player. Am i correct?

 

[SonnyT]

I urge all of TTW to unite in the support of Alcaraz and send him positive energy !

We'll try to neutralize his energy. Because, as it is, he has much too much of it!

 

[ND-13]

He is a youngster, well behaved and respectful. It is strange to think about derailing him or neutralizing his energy.

Exactly. He needs 21 just be in the top 3, and 25 to be the best. But all you need is some potential lol

 

[Lleytonstation]

Alcaraz's hunger to be the biggest winner in history is quite enormous.

Zverev used to say those things lol

 

[Federev]

Alcaraz has stated he wants to sit at the table of the big 3 and ultimately surpass them with the career trajectory he is on.

The most complete game for a 21 year old ever seen in the history of this game, the greatest youngster since Borg, as after today he has surpassed Nadal for greatest youngster for this century.

The youngest channel slam winner of the open era, the youngest world number one, the youngest year ending world number one. The records keep falling.

The real greatest may just be starting, and we could be in for a ride of our lives we have never seen before.

Acknowledge him. The new tribal chief of professional tennis.

I don’t know what the future holds; injuries, other players, peaking early, even outside events like politics and war can upend the best laid plans.

But I’m glad Carlos is here. I think his game is attacking and beautiful and creative in a way that makes me glad to watch tennis.

I found myself smiling many times today just because his shots were so outrageous. He has so much fun and makes it fun to watch.

Novak is solid as a rock historically. An iron wall. Very commendable.

But Fed ruined the game for me in a way. Unless I see creative attacking tennis, I’m usually left wanting. That’s just my preference.

So if the game has to have a Chieftain, I’d be happy for it to be him.

 

[SonnyT]

He is a youngster, well behave d and respectful. It is strange to think about derailing him or neutralizing his energy.

Did you think I was serious? How anyone would try to neutralize him is beyond me.

[graycrait]

Hope Sinner will stay healthy enough to make him a worthy rival.

It is hard for me to look at Sinner and think he has the physicality for a long career. He seems reasonably tough, but the stress on those long levers....

I mean it kind of it is disrespect. He has to win 25 slams to be the greatest ever, and he is at 4...

We are literally saying another 21 slams is not that crazy.

Let's see, 4 a year from here on out for a mere 5 or 6 years, well someone else needs to do the math

 

[Nappa]

Who is going to stop him? Serious question?

He should be winning M1000 tournamemts left and right and he isnt

 

[ND-13]

Alcaraz says: 'I want to sit at the same table as the big guys'​

“Obviously it's a really great start of my career, but I have to keep going. I have to keep building my path,” Alcaraz said. “At the end of my career, I want to sit at the same table as the big guys. That's my main goal. That's my dream right now. It doesn't matter if I already won four Grand Slams at the age of 21. If I don’t keep going, all these tournaments for me, it doesn't matter.

“I really want to keep going. I will try to keep winning and end my career with a lot of them.”
“I don't know what is my limit. I don't want to think about it. I just want to keep enjoying my moment, just to keep dreaming. So let's see if at the end of my career it's going to be 25, 30, 15, four. I don't know. All I want to say is I want to keep enjoying, and let's see what the future brings to me.”

Well if this sinner guy can actually show up, maybe him. Also, if no one comes along to challenge him it wont matter the numbers he puts up if he never has a challenger.

fanboy of djoker would show u a large set of stat other than slams to claim djoker better
