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.

All I know is the guy who breaks the record will have to destroy it. With 30+ additional weeks (at least)
Especially if it's Alcaraz. I'm not going to forget 2020 (the frozing ranking that cost Djokovic 24 weeks) and 2022 (-2000 points in Wimbledon, which cost him around 15 weeks between Wimbledon 2022 and Wimbledon 2023... and thus gave Alcaraz 15 extra weeks he would never have had if Djokovic got his Wimbledon points)...
If not for the covid crap and politics, Djokovic would already have 430+ and Alcaraz would have 20.

That being said, a guy like Alcaraz could easily hit 500 weeks if he has no competition. That's what makes the current record even more impressive today. 400 weeks while playing in the same era as the other 2 Co-Goats who both have 200+ weeks. Imagine the other 2 Big-3 didn't exist, the 3rd one would have 800+ weeks. Once Djokovic retires and if we don't have new big-3, big-4, big-5.... splitting weeks between them, then it'll be easier to stay number #1 for a long time.

Once Djokovic is out from top ranking, I think he will never be ranked 1 again. He is old and won't play enough to be number 1. Last year he gave it up but Carlos couldn't take it.

Alcaraz won't be ranked #1 again. He was incredibly lucky that Djokovic was banned from playing in the US Open in 2022. His Wimbledon win was also a big fluke and that was proven by his below par performance ever since.

His one-dimensional tennis has already been exposed by Djokovic, Sinner, and Medvedev, so no more slams for him. He's also injury prone so he'll be fortunate to still be playing decent tennis by age 30.

all you lunatics who voted >300 remembert that NADAL only gto 209
But Nadal was in the same era as Federer and Djokovic, and would have been number one for 500+ weeks if they didn't exist.
Sinner/Medvedev are skidmarks when compared to Federer and Djokovic, and will Sinner ever reach Alcaraz's level on grass or hardcourt?

He might win AO this month. Don't be completely ridiculous.

To be honest, and absolutely
open, the speculation for the amount of
total weeks at Number 1
at such an early phase in Carlito's career
leaves serious tennis commentators unimpressed.

Contrary to some people's beliefs, tennis
rankings are difficult to predict, especially in
an era so full of talent, with young
players sprouting like crazy!

The kid is all time great already but he got to number one ranking in 2022 because Djokovic was banned from 2 slams and 4 masters plus for Wimbledon win he got zero points. In 2023 he got small advantage because of previous year plus Novak ban to Sunshine double masters.
2024 will be real test - Novak will play full schedule, Rafa will play some tournaments, Medvedev and Sinner will target him especially indoors , Carlos struggled in fast low bouncing courts this year.
Probably Novak will dominate 2024 for record 450 weeks, and then it will be triumvirate with Carlos , Medved and Sinner in 2025 for the next 5 years.

If If If... doesn't exist
no but in all seriousness Sinner's already as good or better than raz if he plays like end of last season on hard
you say that sinner/med are skidmarks when compared to fed or djoko but raz is also a skidmark compared to rafa dont forget
no he's getting less than 200 and if he gets more than 300 then I will pay you 100 bucks

But they are all mental midgets and being owned by a past-his-prime-level Djokovic.
All except for Carlos - but in the 2nd half of 2023 Carlos got some injuries and was a very restricted player.
This generation has no future, outside of Carlos: 2023 Wimbledon Champ.
Sinner of course beat Djokovic, as have many others, but no hope at the Slams, and couldn't even win more than 3 games per set of their ATP Finals Final (and that was supposed to be THE BEST version of Sinner, according to all media and fans).

Sinner is a skidmark because he's a mental midget at the Slams, while Carlos is the OPPOSITE and already beat Djokovic in the Wimbledon Final.
How can you rate Sinner ahead of a US Open/Wimbledon Champion?
There is nobody on the tour capable of Nadal-Djokovic-Federer level, other than Carlos.

i stopped reading here :unsure:
Already knows how to make a Roland Garros Final (and looked every bit as good as Djokovic, until cramps), win the US Open and win Wimbledon (vs. Djokovic!).
That's all 3 surfaces, can win slams on all of them, so I call that mastering all the surfaces.

Sinners level post uso 2023 is better than raz has ever played on hard.
2 slams are on hard, 70% events are on hard
Oh gee, I wonder why Sinner's best level only occurred after the last Slam of the year...
Could it be because Sinner is incapable of handling the pressure (and best-of-5-sets) of the BIGGEST events on tour?
And Sinner lost 63 63 to Djokovic at the 2023 ATP Finals FINAL (too much pressure for Sinner), and you rate that better than Carlos has ever played on hard?
Even at Cincy, when Carlos was not in great shape physically, he still played sublime tennis in the FINAL with Djokovic 57 76(7) 76(4).
Think WTF you want about Sinner, but sooner or later you'll need him to actually win Slams to prove your point.... because best-of-3-sets are never the measure for greatness.
And that is actually why I don't even count Masters titles toward a player's greatness, unless the Final was best-of-5-sets.

What's going on w/ bro's keyboard? Or is this a Mayan calendar situation?
Bro?
People need to stop using that word, unless a friend or actual brother.
Its just pathetic when referring to a complete stranger.

Yes raz is better on 2 of 3 surfaces but sinner’s peak hard > raz peak hard

I don’t see raz beating Djoko on indoor hard like sinner did tbh
Zverev won the ATP Finals twice, and Tsitsipas won it, and Dimitrov won it.
Indoor best-of-3-sets has no value, when compared to Slams.
That is why those guys can win the ATP Finals and never touch a Slam.
