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.

I agree, Carlos will be fun to watch for years to come but I wonder if anyone else will step up and be a rival.
Novak is still here for a few more years, unless injuries get him but after that  Only time will tell. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

At one point it looked like Medvedev would move to the level of winning lots of majors but so far that has not happened. Not sure if anyone else other than Alcaraz is out there currently.
Here are a couple of Alcaraz rookies I bought on a whim.

At least at this tender age, the kid has a great attitude.

So of course Alcaraz has made it to the semis. Medvedev tomorrow. Meanwhile, two US women are in the semis, and potentially it could be an all US final but Madison Keys would have to pull off a major upset tonight.

I think Shelton's Cinderella run is over and he gets a wakeup call from the GOAT, but who knows, the kid is running on adrenaline and the best way to beat a Djokovic or similarly superior player is to play fearlessly and extremely aggressively and Shelton is all about that. If he trades strokes with him he gets his ass handed to him.

Women's final soon. Go Gauff!!
Sabalenka is a slight favorite, which surprises me; as good as she is she only has one Grand Slam title and can be unstable.

Medvedev climbed a mountain to beat Alcaraz. I don't think he has two in him. Novak wins comfortably IMO.
