Honestly, I think that both outcomes are very unlikely. Djokovic will be turning 37 years old next year and Nadal is going to return to the tour to compete at Roland Garros.
Plus, Alcaraz may now have the mental edge over Novak at Wimbledon. I can definitely see djokovic winning the AO and maybe 1 (or maximum 2) more Slams next season, but all 4? I doubt it.
On the other hand, 20 year old Alcaraz barely won in a close 5-set-match against a 36 year old post-prime Djokovic who is a shadow of the player he once was back in 2011-2016. This may be even worse than Djokovic beating “post-prime” Federer, because at least the age gap between them is “only” 6 years old, which is actually very small compared to the 16 years of age gap between Djokovic and Alcaraz!
Whilst I did find this year’s Wimbledon match very entertaining and high-quality, it was clear as day that 2015 Djokovic would have destroyed 2023 Alcaraz at Wimbledon, and I bet even 2015 Federer would have done so too.
Unless Alcaraz makes a tremendous progress from now on, I do not see him ever reaching the level of prime Fedalovic.
Which outcome do you guys find more likely?
