What you must also understand is that over time the things that made Federer dangerous against Djokovic declined liked his FH, movement and BH slice.
I'm curious why you claim Fed's BH slice declined? His FH was seriously degarded with the 2013/14 racket change, his movement declined noticeably, but his slice remained GOAT slice. When did it decline in your view?

It didn't seem to have the same bite with the new racket.
Interesting, everything about Fed's game declined as he aged except his topspin BH. I think the decline in his slice was minimal as opposed to his FH, which fell off a cliff in velocity and explosiveness. I do think his slice wasn't as wickedly low after the racket change, but still GOAT slice.

Agassi's movement and defense would be huge liabilities in that match up. He just didn't cover the court laterally the way players now have to, and Alcaraz might be the new bar for that.
It would be interesting to see who would push around whom in that hypothetical matchup.
I think AA could do ok; despite not having a super-flexible game, he had a knack for
finding weaknesses in his opponents' games- and tiny has a number of them.

A number of weaknesses? How would he be able to bully Alcaraz when his stamina wasn't that good.
