Old Lion
Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain
Agassi is the only one who had the style to beat these backboard types consistently. He would just hit corner to corner but keep moving closer with every shot. He was 3 ft inside the baseline by the time the point was over. Saw him run Nadal like a dog and was pretty much the only one i have ever seen tire out Nadal.I think few are getting that Alcaraz can beat Djoker 8/10 times if they consistently meet from now on. I saw Djoker get hit really hard mentally at the Wimbledon final and probably wishing he was 10 years younger to dominate this kid. Alcaraz is basically Djoker 2.0 and has a forehand that can pull the plug out of a rally at any time.
He has the same effect Nadal had on Fed as an upcoming player and this kid is like 15 years Djoker’s junior but has a much more stable mental game that is far mature for his age.
If he doesn’t burn out ( like Thiem ) with sudden bad injuries he will keep giving Djoker nightmares and Djoker knows his chances at slams are going to be very precious and he has to make each one count to add more to his tally. I think he can get to 24 if Alcaraz loses early but at finals Djoker’s heart is gonna stop if he faces this kid again.
