- After winning his first slam at the US Open 2022 and sky rocketing to number one in the world, Carlos Alcaraz has been compared to some of the greatest players of all time. His career mirrors Rafael Nadal's and with a slam under his belt as a teenager he joins an elite group. But will he reach GOAT status by the end of his career?

#alcaraz #tennis
We can never fully predict a player's career or their trajectory. But we can definitely see he's got an arsenal full of weapons in his tennis game. He's got all the ingredients for becoming a legend of the sport...he's already creating history at 19. Only time will truly tell.
Here after his second Wimbledon title. He’s got this.
He is at the beginning of his career and the best way to destroy it might be to start comparing him with the big three. He is an outstanding player. A joy to behold. Please leave him alone with specaulation about being the next GOAT
I agree with Debbye. Let's just sit back and watch what happens. Tennis is an unpredictable sport, but he is an amazing talent!
He's got the potential for sure! Can't wait to see Alcaraz rise further in his career. Vamossssss!!! 💪🔥
He could, if all goes well. Unfortunately, things don't always go well. He definitely has the skill set, talent, and stamina. Let's just sit back, watch him and enjoy him, abd see what happens.
I love how Carlos plays tennis so much that I have to remind myself that I'm a Rafa fan, like you, first and foremost. If Carlos can't keep it up it was a fun ride to witness.
I’d say a qualified yes! Alcaraz is a more complete player than any of the Big 3 at the same age. His shotmaking is on par with the mercurial Kyrgios. His mental toughness rivals the Big 3. His stamina and willingness to fight for every point is straight from Rafa’s textbook. He has the capability to be surpass the Big 3 but only time, injuries and the competition will tell the next 15-20 years.
The worst thing for young, rising tennis stars such as Alcaraz or Swiatek is comparing them to legends.
Safin destroyed sampras at uso final, won the slam but later fizzled out...
Becker won 2 wimbledons by age 18 but finished with 6 slams.
Winning a slam at an early age doesn't mean GOAT ...
for alcaraz to end up as GOAT, he needs to win 20 or more slams...
That's a TALL ORDER...
Becker had a hall-of-fame career, arguably one of the best 20-25 players ever. That's not shabby.
He has everything to win multiple slams but tennis is so unpredictable. Injuries, mental health, pressure and lot of other stuff can get in the way. And who knows another player like him could appear! As a big fan of him I'm just enjoying the present, what he did this year is amazing, won 2 masters 1000, 2 500 and a slam 😳
Great comment. 👍 Enjoy the present! It was so much fun seeing Carlos compete in all the tournaments he has competed in that I've followed, whatever happens in the future. Mental health always has to be considered which you included.
@@smurfette1509 people tend to forget that tennis is a mental sport you can have all the talent/skills but without a strong mindset you just become a Dimitrov. Lot of talent and potential and look never won a slam or has been consistent in his career. Alcaraz now just reached the peak of his goals in a way, he only misses the ATP finals of all titles. Will he be still hungry for more in the future? I mean he is already nr.1 now it's the moment when things get serious. He played freely this year but he will he able to defend his titles next year? Pressure is gonna be a huge factor
@@nicolasmts3264 Good points. Thanks for giving me some info on Dimitrov. I recently began following tennis again after Rafa won the French Open so it's nice to get a feel for as many players as possible and a historical perspective. Based on a RUclips video I saw about Carlos and his life in Spain it appears that Carlos has a good coach and support system. It still comes down to Carlos, though. I can't help but be so excited about Carlos that I have to remind myself that my favorite player is Rafa!LOL
Oh, one other thing. I wonder where Stéfanos Tsitsipás's head is in the game. He's got game but he just can't come through in the Grand Slams. He may need work on his mindset. I saw a full US Open match from last year against Alcaraz. Even though he lost that match he did play with heart.
I remember my playing days years ago. I was never that talented. I didn't even make the high school team. But what bothered me most is that I felt such pressure to win that I didn't perform up to my capabilities, which were limited enough.😅
@@smurfette1509 that's the point. Mentality is a huge part of tennis and if you're weak you will most likely never reach your potential. I can make a list of talented players who could win a slam or win multiple titles based on their skills. Look Kyrgios he clowned around for years and this year he actually put some effort in his huge talent and went far in 2 slams. Ferrero, Alcaraz's is doing an amazing job he knows his kid and how to protect him. About Tsitsipas is all about his mindset, he has the potential to win RG which is probably the only slam he will win or has higher chances because on hardcourt there are so many beasts. I think he must be down mentally and not confident since RG in fact he feels like he is not accomplishing what he wants and guys like Alcaraz and Sinner are taking the scene. Look it's disapponting that between Zverev, Tsitsipas and Medvedev they only won 1 slam. And now Alcaraz won just 1 😂. Tsitsipas was supposed to do well in USO with a favourable draw and just lost 1st round after making the final in Cincinnati..
@@nicolasmts3264 Thanks for the insight! I have it good in terms of the players I've just come to like so much. I'm a big fan of Rafa, Alcaraz and Sinner. Now, Rafa because of age and injuries may not do much more but based on your analysis which I strongly agree with the future may be bright for Alcaraz and Sinner (and, wow, would I ever love to see them face each other again and again and again). I've come to appreciate Tsitsipas and Kyrgios despite some behavioral issues but it does appear they may not win a Grand Slam because of their mindset. I wouldn't mind seeing Tsitsipas winning RG. You're right about Kyrgios. Overall I think he did well but sometimes he seems to slack off which may not help him (e.g. Canadian Open and Cincinnati). Like you're saying underneath all the clowning around I think he realized in Wimbledon that he actually has talent and that he should put it to use while continuing to clown around. I wish he would quit spitting! 😄When it comes to Grand Slams these days, indeed, Kyrgios is all in. That interview he gave after the loss at the US Open...he was really upset that he lost.
By the way, Alcaraz did make a quick exit up in Canada but that match between him and Tommy Paul was a good one. And Alcaraz and Norrie in Cincy was great. You probably know all this because you know tennis a lot better than I do.
Impossible to predict. You never know who else will show up.
But I will say, a player with quite an arsenal and the mentality to problem solve, as well as the fitness and stamina will have a chance. If he keeps winning matches on bad days, I'll believe in his chances
Expectations against Carlos Alcaraz is alarming.. Let him live for that..
Had done well to the expectations... Let him proceed further in 2023 Australian Open, and so on...
I watched that match. He was spraying quite a lot in the first 3 sets. Started to be a bit more clutch and reign in just enough towards last half of 3rd. In 4th, his serve caught fire. And they both played with lots of safe aggression. And I don't mean safe as in just safe. It was like safe aggression at max level.
What a time to get hot on serve. He just started whacking aces when he was supposed to get tight and nervous. Clutch af
Thiem and meddy also defeated Nadal and nole back back to back in ATP finals 2020
This young man has it all going for him. Let's hope he doesn't fall into the trap of thinking he's unbeatable and get arrogant. He seems to be well grounded. Jaun Carlos Ferrero seems to have a big hand on his success and to keep him respectful and humble.
I do not think Alcaraz will fall into that trap. He appears to be a humble young man.
Let's not put the cart before the horse. He has a long long long way to go before he reaches GOAT status.
Yes, the question in the video is about whether he is a FUTURE GOAT.
If Alcaraz stays healthy he will stay top 3 for a long time.
Too early to tell Cam. He has all the makings of a future great, but only time will tell before he will be referred to as a or the GOAT. One thing's for sure though. He's off to a terrific start! Vamos Carlitos!
He will win at least 15 majors... If he stays healthy... Injury is the main problem in tennis we know, we lost lots of talent because of injuries.
Short answer: I think it's possible. Leave it at that.
One thing he wont' have to do is battle it out with three of the all-time greats for very long. Who knows what kind of stats any of those three put up if the other two aren't around.
Great video, Cam
Nice edits Cam!
Who knows? But it's way too early to give him the keys to the kingdom just yet.
tooo much early to predict
You can't compare him with big 3
Atleast wait for 10-12 years and then do this analysis
because 1 injury and boom
WOW great info!!!.
Amazing video
Watch out! Another spaniard is coming. Martin Landaluce just won the USO junior and he's 16 yo.
the real GOAT has arrived
Everyone needs to slow their roll. Remember del Potro? He won the USO at 19 as well (and actually beat some good competition). Many players burst on to the scene at a young age and then never become an all time great. Roddick, his coach Ferraro, Dimitrov, Nishikori, Zverev, Shapo, Tsisi, etc.
Really? Any of those guys pass the eye test like Alcaraz? I have the same reactions to watching Alcaraz as I did Federer by 2003/2004.
Del Potro was a massive hitter with at a times a big serve. He wasn't in the same galaxy as Alcaraz in terms of speed, defensive ability, return skills, hands, or ability at the net.
Good question.
We know he will be
rip el vaca 🐄it was fun while it lasted...congrats to all the alcaraz fans here.....
I really hate when they call Nadal the king of Clay. He is the GOAT, not just the king of clay. He won the same number of titles outside Clay than Djokovic outside HC. He has more GS having two MASSIVE disadvantages: 1. Sandwich his career betweek Federer and Djokovic, the 2nd and 3rd greatest and 2. Having just one GS in his preferred surface... and still he has more than any human alive.
You will see where your GOAT will be in the next year 2023. This year he got a gift from Novak Djokovic.
🐐 🐐 🐐!!!
I don't believe in the subjective term "GOAT." However, Alcaraz so far is going into the direction of becoming a great player. We shall have see, especially the next few years.
Will be one of them .
He is just starting and you are already thinking of him as GOAT? My bad!!!
Alky has a strong potential to be one. Too early to tell, but as long as he continues to listen to his team, remains level-headed, tries to win matches not beyond 3 (you don't win matches by JUST being mentally strong), I'm sure it wont be that long. I'm excited for what these next, next gen can offer us. If Alky is a potential goat, then have to yet to search for the other 2 (I'm so used to having 3 goats). History tells that a generation of goats normally skip a generation. Domi, Z, Stefanos, Casper, Rublev, they belonged to the generation after RAFA, Novak and Roger. So maybe these next next gen teens are the future of ATP domination (let's wait and see). Crazy thoughts? Who knows?
People talking shit, how many players have won more than one grand slam and are not consider GOAT. Raducano won last year US OPEN, then what???
How can you compare a career of 20 years and 2 year career unless the achievements are nearly same 😢
Yes...no question.
I think yes
One slam, you are talking about GOAT. After ten years we will find out. Right now nah.
Bring me more than 25 grand slams, then you are the GOAT
Too many injuries kill possibilities.
Si
Too early to say… wait till he reaches 20 GS…
He's Baby Nadal !!!!!
Ha, ha, ha - this generation and their adjectives!!! Ha, ha, ha and acronyms- smh -why not keep it simple - he is a great professional tennis player -exciting to watch &!he is serious about winning each and every match regardless who’s on the other side of the net! 🎉
I don't like predicting the future of a player because one injury could ruin everything. We also don't know if this win might get to his head or if he will start to feel a lot of pressure. Djokovic really has himself to blame for this. If he got vaccinated, number 1 would not have been possible for Carlos this year and maybe next. Oh well, you live with your decisions.
Let's just enjoy this time in tennis.
If Djokovic would take vaccine maybe he would be myocarditis just like my 17 years old athlete that never recover fully from first jabb. It is nice to win most slams, but risking health because of some record is not worth it. Fully trained athletes have very small chance to suffer from covid but their reactions of vaccine can be quite unpredictable. My athlete had high temperature for 6 weeks and myocarditis for 5 months. Her immune system in destroyed for 11 months now. Everyone should have freedom to choose if he wants to vaccinated or not. Vaccines are saving lives but not everyone needs it. Getting vaccinated only to be able to cross some border makes no sense. This rules makes no sense. Djokovic can’t enter in US unvaccinated, but unvaccinated people with US passport can. And if you are vaccinated you can enter even if you are covid positive. It is not about health anymore, it is about rules that protect Moderna and BioNTech
Lol. what does Djokovic have to do with this? Talking about predicting the future, smh...
No. Djokovic finished him off at Cincinnati last year. He will win a few big titles but no where close to GOAT numbers.
il ne faut pas prédire on m est djokovic devant alcaraz csrlos on veut que catlos perd en finale moi je sais que carlos a tout les chances de simposer en finzle parce qu il à gagné le queen s sur gaeon tres bon sur gazon carlos voila mes conviction sur wimbledon qui va gagner wimbledon carlos rappelez vous des 1/2 finale de roland garros contre djokovic catlos a attrape des crampes il était diminué vous vollez voir carlos etez battu en finale df wimbledon mou je ne suis pas d accordbavec les sondzges ils sont faux les sondage merci
Nope
Nope. He didn’t act like a goat at Roland Garros 2023. He let cramps stop him.
I have an impression that he is a tennis's Derrick Rose. Very bright spark but he's too physical, doesn't care much about his body limits. It could lead to serious injuries in the future.
Nadal has managed to avoid injuries until this year despite playing as physical as anyone ever.
And Alcaraz will not be playing that kind of grinding style. His net play and likely service improvement, another thing Nadal never had, should see to that.
@@savsav5264 Nadal has dealt with injuries throughout his WHOLE career.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
What kind of stupidity this is? You cant stand to talk about existing goat, and you start to speak about next one, just after 1st fixed, directed and setup grand slam?
