Carlos Alcaraz
After beating Djokovic at Wimbeldon, he lost to him today in Cincinnati in an absolute epic (for a three set match anyhow). He fought off four match points and came back from 5-3 down in the final set to force a tiebreaker, but finally succumbed. At age 20, he is no worse than the second best player in the world, and while there are some very good younger players out there, it seems none of them are close. Once Novak finally slows down, Carlos may win constantly.
