No doubt this is the biggest win of Alcaraz's career to date (and congratulations once again to him).
It's not just the fact that he snapped a bunch of different Novak winning streaks, it's the manner in which he got it done:
- After losing the first set (easily)
- Winning the 2nd set TB after being 0-3 down, SP down
- Saving early BP in the deciding set and holding on throughout to serve it out
He's got the respect and attention of the entire locker room right now, which is the first step to building up an unbeatable aura. Each of the Big 3 had it in their careers, Djokovic still has it right now against most of the field.
IF he can win 2 of the next 3 Slams, that will really stamp his authority on the tour.
Defending the US Open title would be huge. No one has done it since 2008. Winning RG would make him the youngest to win Slams on all surfaces probably. Good chance to stamp out any potential challengers. Make people feel "defeated" before they even take to the court against him.
Clearly a talented and complete player, but he needs a large / intimidating aura to help carry him to a string of future Slam wins
