More slams: Alcaraz vs Medevpas?

[Nadalgaenger]

Who wins more slams? Alcaraz OR the combined total of Medvedev, Zverev, Tsitsipas?

Who gets your bet?

 

[TheNachoMan]

I believe that Alcaraz will win more than one slam.

 

[The Fedfather]

The little 3 are about to be slaughtered in the poll, aren't they?

Yes, poll is the most valuable thing , bigger than the reality.

Way too early to make a call, gentleman.

I have a feeling everything you say is the truth

Agree

 

[Krish0608]

I love Carlos, but can we wait until he makes a deep run in the slams ? I really do think he’ll surpass all 3. Seems very evident on paper.
But too early to predict until we see real results in slams.

He's reached the USO quarters. That's a deep run.

This is a pretty unintelligent post regardless whether it is a troll one or not.

 

[Wander]

I'm going with the player who's the youngest and beating everyone else right now.

 

[NeutralFan]

Alcaraz easily

 

[dapchai]

No offense but can't be less intelligent than ascertaing objectivity on a subjective view.

That is offense, and misinterpreting a post by quoting it with a weird gif shows the unintelligence even more.

 

[onefineday]

Let's talk when Alcaraz has made a slam final, at least.

 

[NeutralFan]

Delete thread.

 

[Nadalgaenger]

Djokovic vs Berdych, Del Potro, Ferrer???

 

[Wander]

Djokovic vs Berdych, Del Potro, Ferrer???

Good question. I was going to say Del Ferdych but then realized they're all retired and can't catch Novak's Slam count anymore. Darn it!

 

[llgtennislegend]

ABA

 

[AM75]

As of now it‘s 1:0 Medvepas, and tomorrow Alcaraz could get an injury and never recover.

 

[duaneeo]

I agree it's too early. Alcaraz just won Miami before the age of 19, but his NextGen resume still pales in comparison to 2017 Zverev, who produced great results across all surfaces:

19 year old Zverev took Nadal to 5 sets at the AO;
20 year old Zverev beat Djokovic in the final of Rome;
20 year old Zverev lost in the final of Halle to Federer, and in five to 2016 WB finalist Raonic;
20 year old Zverev beat Federer in the final of Canada.

 

[DSH]

Chris Evert has said that Alcaraz is going to achieve double figures in GS titles and TTWW has mentioned that the three of them, at most, are going to achieve five Major titles.
The answer is clear, obviously.

 

[Sputnik Bulgorov]

What to Medvedev, Zverev and Tsitsipas all have in common? They've all lost slam finals from 2 sets to 0 up. It's not a very high bar to clear.

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Anything can happen. We were projecting Tstsi/Med/Zverev to be the new dominant players 1-2 years ago and now they can't win anything. Could be someone totally unrelated to the Little 3 and WTAServereaz

 

[Third Serve]

What to Medvedev, Zverev and Tsitsipas all have in common? They've all lost slam finals from 2 sets to 0 up. It's not a very high bar to clear.

It's quite worrying that this has happened to all of the three most prominent players of the nextgen on the biggest stages of the biggest tournaments. what it tells us

It tells us that Thiem is as mentally strong as Nadalovic.

 

[Fabresque]

At least Medvedev has one slam. Should give him enough confidence to believe in himself to win a couple more slams. The other 2, not as high hopes.

 

[mike danny]

At least Medvedev has one slam.

Which makes it even worse.

 

[Sputnik Bulgorov]

It's just as worrying that such high profile chokes happened so early in their careers. Will this be a pattern? Fed didn't choke a 2 set lead in a slam until he was 29. Nadal as well. I don't think its ever happened to Djokovic.

Another fun bit of trivia - all 3 have lost to Nadal while being match point up.

 

[Pablo1989]

LOL, Alcaraz has already got haters. Proof that he's gonna be GREAT.

 

[UnforcedTerror]

Hard to tell, but I can see three out of the four end up as ATGs.

 

[Nadalgaenger]

Medvedev was one set away from winning last two slams!
Tsitsipas was a set away from FO
Zverev was a few points away from USO two years ago.

 

[TheNachoMan]

You can rule Tsitipas and Zverev out

 

[Borissimo]

This is a pretty unintelligent post regardless whether it is a troll one or not.

. This could be said about pretty much every post in this joint!

 

[spottishwood]

Medvedev was one set away from winning last two slams!
Tsitsipas was a set away from FO
Zverev was a few points away from USO two years ago.

They'll forever be away from crossing the 6 slam border even collectively.

 

[Darksong]

Medvedev was one set away from winning last two slams!
Tsitsipas was a set away from FO
Zverev was a few points away from USO two years ago.

But still lost….

 

[mike danny]

Close but no cigar is the Next Gen's motto for 4-5 years now.

 

[Clay lover]

Both game and mentality wise he already looks better than the little three - no significantly weaker wing and no major weakness beyond perhaps serve consistency and lots of grit.

 

[Chanwan]

Somehow, I had managed to forget about this pretty important detail... It really makes you go

It does, doesn't it? It sure does.

Both game and mentality wise he already looks better than the little three - no significantly weaker wing and no major weakness beyond perhaps serve consistency and lots of grit.

Theoretically, I still pencil an offensive-minded AZ without the yipes, going for his groundies and serves, as a multiple slam winner. But let's see him 1) actually play like that in a slam and 2) beat a top-10 first, not everyone gets to win a slam without facing a top-25 player.

 

[doodlyd]

At 25 Alcarazs opposition will not include Nadal Djokovic Federer . So his way to multislam winner will be easier

 

[Crocodile]

It’s all about age and timing. The new kid arriving at 2022/2023 might have come on stream just at the right time and age. Both him and Medvedev will lead the way it seems, while the other two guys might find it a little harder to keep up. Could be wrong, but let’s see.

No.

But if he dominates the Next Gen, that already will make him better than them.

And besides, these younger guys never really had Federer.

 

[Gt86]

Alcaraz 10 plus medvedeverevpas 1.

Alcaraz is 18 lol. In 2 years he will be world no.1 with a few slams under his belt.

 

[LetWinner]

Maybe, but you know who he WON’T pass? Sagassi

 

[duaneeo]

Perhaps. But I was basically saying the same thing about Zverev in 2017.

 

[Tennisfan50]

Who gets your bet?

the poll is betting on alcaraz winning more slams than 3 top-5 players combined? Hmm, I don't see how that can happen.

Not like those 3 top 5 players are running the tables.
