Currently on a hot streak of winning 5 big titles(2 slams + 3 MS-1000 + regain #1 ranking) in the last 6 months. The previous 9 months before that he had 0 big titles and drop in ranking. He very much blows hot and cold. Will he sustain this and pull of a multi-year hot streak like Fed in mid 2003 to end of 2007? Or will his bubble burst very soon?

Maybe the Alcaraz of the last couple of months is the outlier and the real Alcaraz is the one who often struggles his way into finals/titles. There's no way to know what is the real Alcaraz here as of yet.

Alcaraz was in a massive slump, but not only did he manage to pull himself out of it, but he is also now entering his Great Leap Forward phase at 22. Like Federer in 2004(22), Sinner in 2024(22), Djokovic in 2011(23) etc. etc.

The real Alcaraz is here. The USO was just the beginning.
