I could see Sinner getting double digit slams. If he doesn't get injured

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Refining his game and improving leaps and bounds every year. More talent and overrall ability than Alcaraz and hes becoming great on all surfaces at such a young age. . He gave Djokovic a tougher time at Wimbledon this year than anyone else has in years. Barring injury hes going to have a dominant decade in his 20s Hes got all the tools and potential. What he does lack will come with experience. He's got his head on right too. .Hes not some cocky egomaniac that doesn't think he needs to put in the work

 

[Krish0608]

I will be happy if he can stop the insane Alcaraz hype on its tracks. It’s getting tiring.

 

[mahatma]

I am all to support Sinner in USO as well this year if Djokovic eventually doesn't participate. Amazing improvement over last 1 year.

 

[BumElbow]

Doubtful that Sinner will have 10 or more slam titles. I can see possibly 1 to 3 slam titles but would not bet my life on it because none of his shots are the best in their category (though his backhand is excellent). Also, he does not have a surface that he dominates on. We shall see.

 

[Jokervich]

I doubt he even gets 1 tbh.

 

[M3aty]

More talented than Alcaraz?! LOOOOOOOL. I get the annoyance of coverage, but c’mon. Carlos is the real deal.

Only 1-3? Djokovic/Nadal aren't going to be mopping up all 4 slams a year much longer are they? They're getting a little long in the tooth now.

 

[3loudboys]

We’re lucky to have both of them to elevate the sport above the current malaise embodied by the previous next gen.

 

[Gerco]

I think his game is too onedimentional. He hits every shot with the same amount of power (blast the ball though). I´d like to see him varying more heights and speeds, using slice, etc.

 

[zuluzazu]

His mentality is pretty suspect. The way he collapsed after 2 sets in Wimbledon was pretty poor

 

[Thedesertfox]

With more variety to his game, better serve and more confidence he may snatch 5+ slams. I am not sure about 10+

 

[pico]

Brooksby!!!

That is what Djokovic said. He came on the court and literally had nothing to lose. After being two sets to love up he suddenly realized that he could pull that off. But he did not

Guys that grind a lot will get injured a lot, and that is why Alcaraz and Sinner might struggle to win slams.
I know, Nadal got injured a lot and he still won 22 or 25 slams, but he's not normal, he fights through injuries better than anyone, plus his main injury was knee tendinitis and you can play with that.
But the typical longevity for a grinder, is not normally 35-40-years-old, so you may see Alcaraz/Sinner only last till age 30, and may decline by 28 and not win much, as we saw with Courier, Chang and Hewitt

Not much. Hewitt 2 slams, 2 slam finals. 2 WTF
Courier 4 slams and WTF
Chang 1 slam 3 WTF.
Pretty solid careers

Then why is Alcaraz #4 in the ATP ranking and Sinner only #10 when Alcaraz is 1 year younger? Why has Alcaraz won 2 Masters 1000 and Sinner 0?

Injuries and Alcaraz is no doubt a slightly better player.

Only at the age of 20. Horrible, he should outright shoot himself in the head. He truly is pathetic

 

[Tennfan123]

I think he’ll win Three. Just can’t see which slams it’ll be at. He seems very beatable on all surfaces. But he’s better than nearly all the other guys in his era.

3-4 slams and some masters. 8-10 maybe more masters and WTF.

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Well.. Everyone does against Djokovic most of the time especially at Wimbledon. But Nadal/Djokovic aren't going to be dominating Calendar Slam Year every year going forward as they age.

 

[Tennfan123]

He’ll win WTF a few times I feel.

Enough to book his place in the history as one of the greatest players and ITHoF.

I think the Big 3 era is a fluke. It is drawing to a close with only Nadal and Djokovic still in contention for slam titles. When the Big 3 era is over - amaze at it while it lasts - the playing field will be more even and will revert to a normal era where players win 1 to 5 or more slams each. I am looking forward to the next stage.

 

[Omega_7000]

If discount Berdych can get double digit slams, Berdych could've been been GOAT with 30+ slams

Hate to admit it but I agree. They will have a lot of injuries. And playing on clay between Wimbledon and the HC swing is a terrible idea to begin with.

 

[AO13]

I said it a long time ago, Sinner to end with 10+.

 

[Mark Anderson]

Why, they will both take out any o

I will be happy if he can stop the insane Alcaraz hype on its tracks. It’s getting tiring.

They will both never lose to either of the big boys next year. Tick tock.

 

[mahatma]

His mentality is pretty suspect. The way he collapsed after 2 sets in Wimbledon was pretty poor

His self assessment was quite different on last 2 sets in Wimbledon.

 

[mahatma]

Lol, higher chance that Djokovic doesn't participate.

He and Alcaraz look like they can be better than Med for sure. I’m not sure Sinner has the wheels to win more than 3-4 slams tho. If Zvev bounces back to his RG’22 level he’s gonna bag some slams. I think every has written him off but - assuming he gets back to where he was - he’s reached his peak and it’s good enough for some slam wins.

 

[zuluzazu]

His self assessment was quite different on last 2 sets in Wimbledon.

But Djokovic’s assessment of Sinner’s mentality was actually correct. Djokovic literally said that Sinner was shot mentally

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

I don't think sinner losing last 3 sets had anything to do with choking tbh.

There was an injury involved, so take it with a grain of salt.

 

[Subway Tennis]

He could end up with an Agassi-like career at majors where he makes 13-16 major finals winning slightly over or slightly under half of them.

It’s very early to be predicting that type of stellar career, but Sinner really does seem that good.

The thing that we need to keep reminding ourselves with these predictions for Brooksby, Musetti, Sinner, Alcaraz, Korda, FAA etc etc is that these young guys coming through are going to be playing in an absolutely loaded era where there are 6-7 ATGs active simultaneously. The competition for them in majors is going to be red hot from the QTRs onward. Racking up majors in consecutive years is going to be tough, let alone stringing together consecutive majors in a single season.

 

[sportsfan1]

Sinner beat alcaraz at wimby so he's got the upper hand currently. But raz beat Djokovic while sinner blew a ,2-0 set lead to him, so on the mental toughness aspect it's advantage raz.

 

[Subway Tennis]

If Sinner and Carlitos meet at US Open, how do you see the match going?

Do you think either guy is advantaged / disadvantaged by the conditions there, or would it be mutually beneficial for both?

 

[tennis_pro]

He is way too mentally frail to win that many Slams. Unless he fixes this issue even in a totally depleted field I wouldn't be surprised if he wins 0.

 

[MichaelNadal]

Disgusting.

If they are healthy...it would probably be beneficial for both.

Alcaraz will have the crowd behind him. I imagine that it would be a night match, which helps both players. Sinner's improved serve will like the speed of the court.

 

[sportsfan1]

So have a number of other players against Djokovic - tsistipas at rg, musetti at rg, fed at uso?, Etc. Famously also this year, Medvedev against nadal at the oz open.

Even they will not win double digit slams

 

[abmk]

so now economy berdych will win 10 slams? LOL.

 

[junior74]

Someone has to win them...

I personally think Medvedev, Zverev and Tsitsipas will be the dominant players when Djokodal are gone.

At this point it appears Djokovic will hold off to pass the mantle to his son. The next little 3 will be the fedalovic kids.
