How many slams do you think Carlos can mop up? This era seems pretty weak. Other than Novak who only beat him because he cramped who else will stop him in the future? I'm going to guess at least 17-20 slams once Oldovic is gone.
 
I don't believe that for one second...he cramps will become a long term preoblem, like Del Potro and Nadal were injury prone, so will be Alcaraz...it's just his genetics...so i'll say 8-10 slam range is generous prediction for him...others will win less, so he'll spearhead his generation regardless, but the gap won't be as big as people expect! We are likely entering yet another Lendl/Wilander/Edberg/Becker esque mid 80's-early 90's period...

Do you think Sinner and Rune will become the goat rivals for him like Djokodal to Federer?

Yes, maybe i dunno...at this point it's like trying to predict next ice age! Easier to predict next grand slam women's singles champion, than trying to predict future rivalries...it's logical to expect a future, where Rune, Sinner and Alcaraz all tightly control the rest of the tour, but not everything works according to logic especially in tennis! Zverev and Tsitsipas will probably have their fair share of grand slams in a big-3 free era, Medvedev also likely to add more to his only one title yet, even people like FAA, Tiafoe or even Korda will have their chances! It's not only just Sinner, Rune and Alcaraz! Those three will just have more slams than the rest, but others will be winning as well within 1-4 title range...

10-20

Everyone is so shortsighted on here. Whatever you think of Djokovic and Carlos’s so called collapse against him, I can guarantee Novak will NOT be stopping him everywhere in 2026 (at which point he will be 22/23 years old, and Djokovic/Nadal will be 39/40).

The amount of mug slams in the mid to late 2020s is way way larger than any of you realize.

2025-2030: 24 Slams up for grabs.

54 Masters. 6 YECs. 312 weeks at #1.

Someone is going to have to win those. The inflated stat counts of the NextGen are going to legitimately blow people’s minds.

You are likely making two mistakes at the same time - underestimating Rune, Sinner and alikes and overestimating Alcaraz' ability to fend them off consistently! And i'm not even talking about Medvedev, Zverev, Tsitsipas gen, who are still good enough themselves to remain slam challengers for the next 5-10 years! It's not as simple as you think, even against mugs you have to stay consistent, once in a while even a mug can get under your skin, where you the least expect it! Big-3 were simply good at maintaining insane level to keep fighting off journeymen and top-10 ranked mugs to defend their legacy on regular basis, are you completely sure that Alcaraz will be AS good at this? i wouldn't be so sure...and if we throw spaniard's predisposition towards injuries and clamps into the mix - and you start seeing how 10-20 slam range prediction can be thoughout of as "generous"...

Sinner

Sinner is 2 years older than Alcaraz and hasn’t even won a Master 1000. He will not surpass someone who is younger and at the same time has won a Slam - you are asking him to pull off something that had never happened before.

Well, didn't some things that never happened before happen in the recent past in tennis? ;)

Also, who knows what happenes to Alcaraz in the next future, mentally and physically. Maybe it doesn't take THAT much to "surpass" him. And it wouldn't be THAT unique as you make it sound.To give an example in tennis history: Michael Chang in 1989 became the youngest RG winner ever, while the older Sampras didn't have any success until 1990 and the (even more) older Agassi won his first Slam in 1992. And yet they easily "surpassed" Chang because he never added ANY other Slam title.

I don't know if Sinner will be the one though. And to be honest I also don't understand what people see in Rune. I expect Ruud to stay better than both for a long while.

Andy Roddick won a grand slam a year younger than Federer, how did that turn out?

there are 10 weaknesses i want to discuss but even that would be a waste.....his point construction is presently hampered with overthinking and too much excitement inside his head......
 
The correct answer is this: who the ef knows?

But I'm going with 10-20 because this is a God-tier talent that actually has been making use of said talent.

His peak is going to be very, very scary.

At this point, the only thing we know is that he's better than the Next Gen. But that isn't a high bar to cross.
 
Going to say around 6-7. There genuinely isnt going to be anyone stopping him at first but i think the tour will catch up eventually and he'll drop off. He won't be another Novak.

Not writing him off yet. I genuinely believed that Alcaraz was going to run away with the match until the unfortunate cramps began.

But indeed, the next few encounters with Djokovic will shape my further views on him.


With that said, the perception shift is real. The fact that he didn't win the RG this year should be eating him alive because it was his to lose. I hope for his and Tennis' sake that he comes good.

USO will be a big test.

If he fails to win a slam this year, it will certainly be disappointing.

Wait a second. I followed Carlos in his junior career, he never cramped. In fact, he has cramped in exactly one professional match and honestly explained why that happened. You claiming it's genetics and will be a long term problem is simply ridiculous. He cramped one time in his entire career and that was nerves, not "genetics."

Djoker quit many matches when young because be was exhausted and we all know he turned that around. The player who has had long-term cramping issues, including the juniors, is Rune. In fact, he's cramped on court three times this year already.

Back to OP's question - tennis will return to normal expectations after Djoker retires. 6-8 slams was a phenomenal career, Pete with 14 was considered GOAT. Alcaraz will likely end up with 8-10 majors. But its way too early to know.
