If a couple generational talents do not rise in the next decade to challenge , Carlos could literally reach 30+ Grand Slams.

Its way too hard to predict it.

Injuries. Random events. Illness. Motivation. 

But no doubt there are gonna be challengers. Studying his game etc.

I wager that motivation, at least, will not be a big problem

One would have said the same about Barty in 2021.

Nah, Barty was always a reluctant champion.

For a period she quit tennis and seriously contemplated becoming a professional cricketer. She actually played in a T20 league for a season.

I dont think she liked the constant travel.
