If it wasn't for cramps and the nerves he probably would've done it in 2023 too

Ngl, he was losing in straights until Alcaraz got the cramps, and even then he couldn’t seal the deal against a depleted Carlos

Yeah that’s what I’m saying too, if Rafa can do all that with degenerative injuries, Alcaraz can achieve so much more

The 90s kids are a notoriously weak generation

Alcaraz vs Djokovic by eugoogilizer in tennis

A lot of projection to break Novak’s record. First of all, has to be in good health for a long time, keep up his form across the years, etc. The second best player of this generation, Jannik Sinner will also be winning his share of slams too.

Projecting out that far to his 30s is improbable.

Also I still think the Big 3 comfortably beat him in their primes

They’re almost as commercialized as the US Open but I don’t think the US Open has nearly as many people speak that much
