I think the sky's the limit for Alcaraz but I do wonder about his arm problems at a young age as well as other various injury issues. He's not exactly using an arm-friendly frame as well. His limiting factor could turn out to be his body as outside of Rune I'm not sure if there's any younger players out there that are close to his skills. Zverev, FAA, Tsitsipas, Rublev, Medvedev, Fritz, etc have all hit their ceilings and outside of a grand slam here and there where one of them may break through I don't see any of them forming a big head to head rivalry with Alcaraz as he's already much more rounded than any of them at 20 years old. Musetti has a little room to get better but he's going to have a low ceiling because of his backhand. Fils looks like he could be a top 10 player one day but at least for the next few years it looks like it's going to be Djokovic and Alcaraz battling out a lot of grand slam finals.
