🎾 Carlos Alcaraz already has more grand slam titles than Andy Murray. In fact, he is tied for 15th place in the list of most Grand Slam titles (Men's Tennis). At 21. His game suits both grass and clay which puts him in a good position to be in the Top 10 soon. But does he have it in him to rise up to the level of the Holy Trinity of Tennis - Federer, Nadal, Djokovic? Does he have the consistency, commitment and humility to keep fighting all other challengers and internal challenges. One can argue that with player lifespans generally getting longer, Djokovic's record is not unreachable for someone. I'm not saying it will be Alcaraz, but someone in the future. Sports have so much that can go wrong. 1. Injury - Even a minor injury can limit your game. Nadal had to fight it all his life. 2. Mental health - Games are tough, but handling the ruthless media is probably crazier. 3. Finances - Sponsorships can evaporate if there is a PR risk, or dip in form. 4. Over-confidence - If you get too comfortable and stop working on the game, there are people ready to take your spot. 5. Distractions: Fame, money, etc. are not easy to handle for everyone The GOATs of any game have to prove themselves consistently for years - Sachin, Jordan, Serena, Navratilova, Messi, Ronaldo, Bolt... And they usually have to do it before they turn 40 (used to be 30). It's a tough world out there for athletes. Massive respect! Congratulations Alcaraz on winning your 4th Slam. Many more to come I wish. #sports #inspiration #respect

He does seem to have all the ingredients of a goat player. I am also optimistic about Sinner. The rate at which he has improved is incredible. Their rivalry is something which will make tennis very interesting for the next decade.
