Alcaraz will win at least 30 Slams. Anything less will be a disappointment.

I def think at least getting to double digits is possible but mainly bc he won’t have peak big 3 to stop him, and he’s seemingly already figured out the gen in front of him.

I think double digits is an upper-end prediction for anyone. Only 2 OE players before the big 3 got there.
That said, I do think it's possible given how much more technically, physically, and mentally solid he is than anyone else under 30. A remote possibility, but a possibility

Do you have a crystal ball so you can see that no player of similar quality to Alcaraz will emerge in 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029, 2030, 2031, 2032, 2033, 2034, 2035, 2036 and 2037?

It's naive to assume that Alcaraz will never have any rival in his career. Historical perspective teaches us that all ATGs faced sinilar quality opposition.

-Rosewall faced Laver and Emerson.
-Borg faced McEnroe.
-Sampras faced Agassi.
-The Big 3 faced each other

Who will Alcaraz face? Will it be Rune if he improves enough? Will it be another player whose name we still don't know and who will emerge in the future? Time will tell.

What are the GOAT level weapons that Alcaraz has at his disposal that will give him so many slams ? Every GOAT has a USP you know, Pete had his serve, Fedal had their forehands, Djokovic has insane flexibility and his return. Carlos is too tiny (according to @Lleytonstation and I wouldn't disagree with him on this) for him to have any strength/athletic advantage over his next gen when they come up and he reaches his mid 20s. He has a short 5 year window starting from now to rake up as many slams as he can, not everybody is Federer to win 2-3 slams every year without breaking a sweat. I give Alcaraz a best of 8-9 slams overall if no great player emerges in the next 3-4 years.

He may have somebody else to stop him, we dont know, look at federer, everything seemed to go swell for him, nobody could stop him anymore, and suddenly, bang, nadal appeared
 
People are mental that is 3 slams a year for 10 years. Factor in loss of form injuries and not knowing how he will develop. The big 3 has made 20 slams seem the norm

Not likely. 30 time slam winners don't struggle to get through two 40 year old geratrics far past their expiration date. Sure he'll get better, but hes going to have to get insanely better to win 30. 10 sounds good as other players will appear to challenge him around his age range

Federer beat Sampras. In every way. That’s all :cool:
 
On the flip side is it possible he'll have to wait a few years until djokodal retire or decline to get started on the slam scoreboard? Medvedev was the favorite after winning uso but both djokodal beat him subsequently, including of course nadal famously at the oz open.
 
with reference to other players coming up, he can get at least 8 fo and 4 uso. 15 looks a reasonable guess but 30 would be too dramatic

You heard it here first. Alcaraz is a lock for the next 30 Slam titles. It's on him to lose any of them.

So are you predicting that Alcaraz will win or not at least 30 slams (the next 30 in a row)?
You don’t need to state what will happen if he doesn’t, in that way you are nullifying your own prediction.
 
tbh, he needs to win at least that amount to be compared to the big 3. Looks like he will have no rivals even close to their level.

I think someone about 4-5 years younger will come along that's better. Maybe his younger brother.

I'll join that team and he will dominate tiny Carlos and all the tiny Carlos glory hunters will be salty in the end.

Is there any reason why you spell tiny in Tiny Carlos not using a capital letter?

Yes. If he doesn't win all of the next 30 Slams, he will be remembered as a failure just like Federer

10 is a reasonable target.

Aiming for more than that is silly right now. Tennis isn't a video game. Injuries can take their toll and other great players can come along and play even better.

Exactly. Let him win ONE at first and when he has won three, we can talk about 5-6. And then about the 10 plus territory. There is a reason there have been so few double digit slam winners in the entire OE. And if it looks like Alcaraz is a supreme talent with no peers in his age group for now, that could change quickly too. It looked like Fed was peerless for the first couple of years until Nadal started gradually clawing back his dominance and then Djokovic too broke through. There could be others to give Alcaraz company. We don't know who they are today but nobody knew in 2003 that Nadal and Djokovic would be the ones to stop Fed.
