Paris is very likely, the other two are much tougher for him. I’d say it’s unlikely.

 

Alcaraz is going pure Federer 04-07 over the next 3 years. He’s likely going to have an even longer dominant stretch bc there is nobody in the age 17–age 21 (younger than Alcaraz) that is coming up behind him that can challenge him.

Only thing that could stop him is injuries. All the players older than him or currently in their primes he’s already better than. And Alcaraz at 22 is stil 2-3 years away from his own peak.

This guy, if you give him a servebot capability which he’s developed in the last year, is unplayable. He’s very Federer-like with the attacking variety, with the defense of Rafa. That’s a player that isn’t losing to anyone

 

It's not sustainable for Carlos to serve from the tree in the long run. He is too short for that.
Sinner is a way too good player to allow a 2004-07 kind of dominance to happen. It's still more likely that Sinner will be a more dominating player, TBH.

 

I would say unlikely. If he adds a 500 to his schedule then it becomes more achievable. But I don't see him winning two out of the three remaining scheduled tournaments.

 

He will win another Slam in October!

 

And 37-year-old King beat this guy on one knee to win the OG gold medal and complete tennis. What a beast Novak is

 

Well, Clay has always been one of best Djokovic surfaces, While Alcaraz weaker one. Also in BO3 there is always more room for surprises. Djokovic didnt win more on Clay because the competition was more specialized and brutal

 

Wasn't there a thread like this a few months ago?

 

Yeah it’s definitely possible.
Not sure if he’s playing a 500 before Paris Indoors?
Otherwise I’d give him a 50/50 chance.
Depends on how Sinner performs too.

 

If only he didn't flop IW he would've had a much hingher chance.

 

In the 21st Century tell me all these 6'3+ Players that have won Grand Slams ? Since being Tall matters ? 5'11 to 6'2 is the perfect height.. anything 6'3 and Over is bad just ask Zverev, Medvedev, Fritz... Nadal was only 6'0.25 he had a weak Serve and still won 22 Slams lol... Jannik sinner at 6'3.25 is not going to dominate history has proven it...

Id say Rafa is about 6'0.5, just bad posture. But if you analize the Big 3 they all have very similar shoulder height level, only Djokovic has a much longer neck and taller head (A Prime example of this is Gasquet who standing next to people close to his height he has a much lower shoulder level and just very long neck and tall head), so his slight height advantage over Rafa and Fed didnt help much in the serve, unless he had comparatively longer arms which would have given him a bit of an advantage.

 

Eight is enough...the amount of threads sucking up to Alcaraz today makes me want to barf. I get it, he's great.

 

I lean towards no, too soon for him Indoors. Hopefully I'm wrong. I am confident his results will at least be better than they were in the past Indoors, though.

 

He has already pulled out of Shanghai, and he won't be winning ten this year.

Another question that can be asked is: Can Alcaraz finish with a 90%+ winning rate this season? My answer would again be no unless if Carlos decides to skip the indoor season.

 

I think Alcaraz will most likely have at least a 90 % winning rate this season. Counting the matches in Tokyo, he is 66-6 for the season. Winning one of Paris or Turin, he will have more than 70 wins, and with only one extra loss, he will be well above the 90 % mark. Assuming he gets one more loss in Paris and one more loss in Turin, he will have eight losses. Then he needs six more wins to reach 80 matches and a 90% win rate. Modest results, like a quarter in Paris and going 3-0 in the group but losing in the semi in Turin, would suffice. If he doesn't win Paris, and gets two losses in Turin, he won't make it, of course. But given that Alcaraz has made 9 finals in a row, I don't see that happening.

 

Him having pulled out of Shanghai earlier today makes it extremely unlikely, esp since indoor hard remains his worst surface

 

He may one of Paris or the YECs, but I doubt he's winning both, given indoor hard is statistically his weakest surface.

 

Federer has very long arms, which helped his serve. Alcaraz and Sinner also long arms, especially Sinner.
Nadal and Djokovic do not look like they have long arms, and they also dont explode on the serve, especially not Djokovic, perhaps they had pain if they went all-in on the serve. They had enough strenghts in their baseline games.

 

I'd say 9.
A great season for him. Not a tier 1 but very much top of tier 2. However, if he does win the Finals and end YE1, I think it is a lower end of tier 1 season.

 

Laver Cup matches are officially counted as real matches. Tennis abstract says he's 67-7 ytd.

 

Okay, I didn't count Laver cup, then Alcaraz must win either Paris or Turin to pass 90 %.
