I am not a Alcaraz fan. They are overhyping him like crazy. I do have this to say...Carlos does BULGE way more than Nadal ever did. Nadal was like a Ken doll...nothing there...compared to Alcaraz.
I have to agree. He's getting overhyped, but I feel like that's always a thing now. Commentators and reporters always trying to make someone the next big thing. The truth is, he is #1 by barely a couple hundred points with a certain player missing over 8000 points of masters/majors on this current 12 month cycle, so.......

Also, I think people will be sorely disappointed if they expect him to dominate the way Roger did for so long. The next gen has a lot of talent; You have to figure Novak will be around probably another 3-4 years and by that time the rest of the next gen will be coming into their own on the tour. Ultimately I think sinner or rune (man I hated to type his name) will end up with the most trophies out of the next gen (I just don't think the way Carlos plays will be friendly to his body). Then I think you'll have a second tier of Musetti, Korda, Shelton, Draper that will be hovering around 1-3 slams each.

It might actually be fun watching a men's tour where there's opportunity for multiple players (similar to the WTA from 2016 to 2020 seasons).
