Carlos already has 36 weeks ranked #1, and has mastered all the surfaces.
Carlos may be all alone at the top for the next 10-15 years, given how mentally weak this new generation is overall.
Cramps and injuries can temporarily stop him, but there is no Big3 (3 players at the standard of Nadal-Djokovic-Federer).
Carlos plays at a level so high (and we haven't even seen his best yet) that I think only Nadal-Djokovic-Federer could beat him at his best.
Medvedev is clearly not great on clay and grass, but is a great hardcourter and beat Carlos at the US Open last year.
Medvedev won the 2021 US Open, but Carlos won the 2022 US Open, so there is no evidence that Medvedev will feast on future US Opens.
Medvedev can't truly compensate for his lack of clay/grass results, because Carlos wins big on hardcourt too.
Medvedev has already shown us his peak and prime, because his game isn't evolving.
Sinner is more of an all-surface player than Medvedev, but is even weaker than Medvedev at the Slams.
Sinner hasn't got it mentally, and it seems 95% of tennis players with mental issues never overcome them.
Sinner beating Djokovic in a Wimbledon Final? No chance.
Sinner will likely win plenty of non-Slams, much like Zverev.
Perhaps cramping will remain a problem for Carlos (or not), but he can afford it because he's entering a much easier era than the era of Nadal-Djokovic-Federer.
I trust Carlos to beat everyone everywhere, except for Rafael Nadal in the Roland Garros Final = the most difficult challenge in tennis history, sports history and maybe even human history.
Even the 2022 version of Nadal would not lose to Carlos at Roland Garros - despite being nowhere near his prime Nadal still beat FOUR top 10 players at RG 2022.
So Carlos is likely to set new records of consistency at the Slams - probably winning the Calendar Year Grand Slam a couple of times - and in turn he will be ranked #1 for 500+ weeks.
