Whether or not Alcaraz will be able to surpass the phenomenal milestones set by Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal was the subject of intense deliberation during the Match Points podcast on Tennis Majors featuring Marion Bartoli, Carole Bouchard, and Ben Rothenberg. Rony Gao@RonyGaoThe debate about whether #Alcaraz will dominate men’s tennis is misled by the comparison with Big 3.

Sometimes we forget that asking anyone in any era to win 20 grand slam titles is too high of a bar. So high that it’s a meaningless debate.The debate about whether #Alcaraz will dominate men’s tennis is misled by the comparison with Big 3.

So high that it’s a meaningless debate. While all three tennis experts were in agreement that winning 20 or more Grand Slams was a seemingly impossible task, Rothenberg and Bouchard suggested that the current generation of players were not in the same class as the Big 3 or Serena Williams.

Rothenberg also opined that Steffi Graf's haul of 22 Majors was achieved during "a bit of a weak era" and that Alcaraz could indeed benefit from a lack of intense competition. "This generation is almost certainly weaker than the Big 3 generations so there could be space for him to win more.

Maybe a little bit like Steffi Graf did, get a bit of a weak era and rack them up but yeah, not like 20 as a given. No way a little more," said Rothenberg. Graf arrived on the scene when the Martina Navratilova-Chris Evert era was drawing to a close but still managed to manufacture a legendary rivalry with Navratilova.

Their head-to-head was spilt down the middle at 9-9. Graf was also tested by players like Gabriela Sabatini and Monica Seles but retired in 1999 when Venus and Serena Williams entered the scene.
