Fir starters, he overcame the ATGs before him in Sampras and Agassi.

They only played once, come on.
It was an iconic match, though.
And Agassi was a worthy rival but he was 11 years older.
It was obvious who was going to prevail in the end.
:D

Well, we've seen with Alcaraz what happens when you play an ATG even once in a BO5 ;)

And yes, it was obvious who was going to prevail in the end, but he did. Alcaraz still has work to do on this front and he's 16 years younger than Djokovic:D

That is why Alcaraz's performance against Djokovic deserves all the criticism possible.
There are no excuses for the Spanish player but he can still vindicate himself if he beats the Serb in the two strongest venues for the world number 1: Wimbledon and the Australian Open.
If Carlitos dethrones him in both places, what happened in RG will be quickly forgotten.
:cool:

That's a pretty big if. I give him no chances at those 2 slams. His only chance is at the USO.

His style is less physical than Nadal and Djokovic

Maybe in terms of endurance, but not in terms of essentially running full sprints across the court every match and diving for balls. In that regard, his physical style is closer to Nadal than Djokovic and we've seen the contrast in how health has treated both of them throughout their careers. By the time he reached 20 years old, Carlos has had an arm injury, a few leg injuries, impact induced arthritis in his wrist (from that dive against Sinner a few months ago), and multiple issues with cramping. He doesn't have to, but he goes all out for every tough to reach ball even when he's ahead in the match or game. It leads to some highlight reel points, but it also leaves him vulnerable to injury more than most. I'm sure his coaches will try to address this, but I still hold my position that there are questions about his long term health based on what we've seen so far. I'm not rooting for him to get injured, but he needs to be more selective about when to hit overdrive if he wants to prolong his career.
 
I voted over 20. Of course he can get injured, lose form, opponents get better etc. He is a threat on all surfaces and he doesn't have to share the spoils at the moment like the big 4 did. I could be completely wrong, but that is my best guess at the moment. I predicted Rafa would pass Sampras and that view was laughed at.
 
If someone doesn't come around to challenge him like Nadal did to Fed in the mid 00s then he can very realistically reach 10-12 slams. If someone comes around that beats him in key tournaments then we'll see how he deals with a rival. I say10 would be a lot for him in this scenario.

I get the feeling we won't see another high double digit slam winner for decades. The new generations are contempt with just participating and making bank, other distractions take precedence, the hungry, fire in their eye gen I think dies out with the big 3, Alcaraz is really an anomaly with his drive, and we still need to see how long he is capable of maintain it.

Just because he won 6 does not mean he will cross 10 for sure, he definitely could and probably will but nothing is certain.

You don't have to be a fortune teller to predict that Alcaraz will surpass 10 Major titles when his only worthy rival is Sinner, whom he already dominates in h2h.
It will depend on him not having serious injuries and maintaining his motivation to continue climbing among the best players in history.
8-B

Even fortune tellers cannot predict injuries... so...
 
Don’t care, as long as he doesn’t play Rotterdam after winning the AO like Rafa did in 2009.

This year I think Carlos will win at least 1 more.

If he is healthy I think he will win RG, in a more dominant way compared to last year.

You can't compare the competition that existed in Nadal's time in 2009 with the current competition of Alcaraz in the present season.
There is a huge difference.
:notworthy:

Another thing I’ll like to add is he needs to cut down his clay tune ups unlike Rafa , Rafa played too many clay tune ups .
 
This boy has 7 freakin' major titles. There were those calling Federer the greatest at that number. Not even Borg and Wilander were this young. Look after your body, kid.

Rafa should have had a long vacation after winning AO 2009. Instead, he chose to play and got thrashed in that final and nearly got hospitalized for exhaustion.

Alcaraz is already way ahead of the pace that I had previously predicted. He’s my 3rd favorite ever. That said, I would be ecstatic if he got to 15 slam titles. That would exceed my expectations. I think that he’s good for 12-14. Injuries can creep in. And we don’t know what Sinner will do. Sinner has won nearly 90% of his matches since 2014, along with 4 slam titles. We can’t rule him out at age 24. And there could be a young gun that comes through and dominates. It’s impossible to predict.

Next year at the AO, he will be going for the double career slam at age 23 1/2. That is absolutely ridiculous. What a monster.
 
If he has Djokovic’s luck and doesn’t see another young all time great for 15 years the sky is the limit. Can you imagine if he got to feast on guys like Tsitsipas and Ruud for the next 15?

That's not how it works. 17 years ago 20 year old Rafa had 2 slams to his name, while the hyped up Carlos disappointed in back to back years at RG.

Hi

Because Nadal actually played in a strong era. And he beat peak Federer in order to win that RG 2005. That Nadal would have definitely beaten a 36 years old Djokovic, at worst case in 4 sets. Anyone who claims at this point that Alcaraz is even comparable to young Nadal, leave alone better, should not be taken seriously. The "more complete player" should first learn to play for longer than 2 sets. Put him in 2005-2006, he wouldn't even be relevant.

Alcaraz will win close to 30 slams
 
Its amazing to think how after last year's Wimbledon Sinner held 3/4 majors and now just six months later Alcaraz does. Shows how quickly things can change in such a short space of time.
 
It’s insane that the slam record was 14 when I got into men’s tennis and it seemed like such a huge number. Now 3 guys have already passed it and that number might change to 5 :oops:
 
I would say from a low end of 15 (absolute lowest I could see) to a high end of 32 (absolute most I could see him win). I know that isn't a prediction per say but these type of predictions are virtually impossible anyway.
