Good as Alcaraz is that’s a bold statement, who’s to say another up and coming player won’t comes through in the next few years. As we both know Djokovic already been there and done it beating many of the top players we’ve seen in years.
Chances are Djokovic may still win another major or two despite me agreeing with you Alcaraz being the new kid on the block. It’s going to take at least 10 years and anything can happen. Not my favourite player Djokovic but he deserves being called or at least up there with the GOAT.
Well yes, other player(s) may come over the next few years but who knows. I see Alcaraz as being above the rest of the current field the way Novak, Roger and Rafa were ahead of theirs, but Carlos doesn't have 2 other elite (generational?) players to battle it out with.
As much as i like players like Rune, Ruud, Sinner, etc i don't think they have the ceiling that Carlos has. Medvedev did beat Alcaraz in the semi's so he could be a thorn on his side.
Maybe saying "i expect" was a bit much, but i wouldn't be surprised if Carlos does beat Novak's record someday given the gap between he and the rest.
