Youngest to win SOG - Currently record is held by Marc Rosset ( Age 21 years 9 months at Barcelona 1992)
Youngest to win Golden Career Slam - Currently held by Nadal (Age 24 at USO 2010)
Youngest to win surface slam - Currently held by Nadal (Age 24 at USO 2010)
Youngest to win Super Slam - Currently held by Agassi (Age 29 at RG 1999)

He will need to win this years Olympics if he wants to accomplish the first two of those.

Can Carlito's Way continue to lead him to immortality as he topples record after record?

Let us hope Alcaraz gets any two of USO , Olympics and AO.

An YEC and YE NO 1 will be icing on the cake but they don’t matter much . Just focus on majors and CYGS.

Do you think he is fav to get gold in Paris in a few weeks?

Olympics usually has a surprise winner. It's a tough tournament to predict in tennis.

Think he'll also be pretty focused on doubles with Nadal so maybe he'll be easier to beat in singles a bit.

That's true also, it does have a sense of unpredictability about it. And could be right about the doubles potentially playing a part for Carlito.
 
Youngest to win SOG - Definitely possible. Alcaraz won RG and this year's Olympics is played on clay.
Youngest to win Golden Career Slam - Assuming Alcaraz wins the SOG, then he'll have three opportunities to win the AO.
Youngest to win surface slam - He's the favorite to win the USO this year although he has more obstacles in his path because Medvedev, Zverev and Sinner are tougher opponents on hard. Djokovic while not in good form shouldn't be underestimated too.
Youngest to win Super Slam - I'd be surprised if Alcaraz doesn't manage to win at least 1 YEC, 1 AO, 1 SOG by the time he's 29.

Hard to say for myself, YEC is worth more money, 4.7 mill vs like 2.2 mill, although the slam count still seems more recognized. But 4.7 million!

Alcaraz already has 1 slam on each surfaces, so he has the surface slam.

If you are implying in 1 year then it should be CYSS .... Calendar year Surface Slam
 
I think he will.

He is probably as good as Big3, but doesnt need to fight the other two.

At age 22 it isnt unlikely he will have the slam number of players like Edberg, Becker, Wilander.

He has 2-3 shots at breaking Rafas record on surface slam. He is huge fav for SOG.

I think the only thing that can stop him is injuries or a new big player entering the scene.
 
I just don't see him winning the Olympics this year. He's probably exhausted (at least mentally) after completing the Channel Slam.

I think there will be a lot of players that are hungrier and able to get hot over Bo3. It's a tough ask for Alcaraz to go back to RG and find the proper motivation so soon after walking out of there with the big prize.
 
sthing sounds not right to me for players appreciated with records, instead of playing styles

sampras agassi safin Murray and many many other's were highly rated without winning as many as big three

shxt era makes everything distorted
