Who will lose to Alcaraz first in a Slam- Djokovic or Nadal?

Who will Alcaraz defeat first in a slam Djokovic or Nadal. I think it's obvious both will face a loss atleast once to Alcaraz before they retire as if a Medvedev can beat Djokovic and Tsitsipas can beat Nadal then Alcaraz surely should. Who will lose first and where?

Nadal

 

[Nadal - GOAT]

Depends largely on whom he meets where.
My guess would be Alcaraz meets Novak in FO 22 and beats him. If that doesn't happen then he could beat Rafa in USO 22.
I think he will find it difficult to beat Rafa in FO and Novak in hard court this year.

Rafa beat Alcaraz in best of 3 with issues so it's not a given at Uso but with Djokovic I think Alcaraz can beat as I seriously think on clay Alcaraz will be a tough matchup for Djokovic

Completely agree on the Djokovic point. Though regarding Rafa, it was a close match and Rafa only had issues in the 3rd set. Even the 1st set was close. Also Rafa's fitness and form has been inconsistent whereas Alcaraz is improving consistently.

I of course hope Rafa is in fine form come the USO and wins it. But got to accept the possibility that by then Alcaraz could very well be up to the task of beating Rafa.

Except for Wimbledon, I would like to see Alcaraz face Djokovic in the remaining Majors, especially in a possible confrontation in the next Australian Open.

The still adolescent prodigy against the best player in the history of that tournament.
A blockbuster, no doubt!
