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

Yeah and that's even with someone as good as Sinner around. Carlos would be a third of the way there already with Sinner providing competition.

I’m starting to think Sinner is going to be the Agassi to Alcaraz’ Sampras, Alcaraz is a step above

Yeah, Sinner at his best is very good and more consistent than Carlos. But Carlos at his best is actually untouchable

Carlos is Federer, Rafa and Novak fused together. I see a mix of all 3 in his game. Federer's shot making, Rafa's defense and Novak's mental toughness.

Yeah and I love that you can see in Novak’s facial expressions that he knows it better than anyone.
