I would say 600 slams and 1300 Masters 1000 (sorry, I went into Oiler Robbie Shremp mode for a second).
Alcaraz I would think can be a multiple-slam winner, not sure if he reached double digits though. Let's set the bar at 8 slams with 5 French, 2 Aussies, and 1 US Open.
I see Ruud winning a couple of slams, let's say an Aussie Open and a French Open.
I don't see a slam for either Norrie or Karatsev, time isn't on their side like the other two guys.

5 French Opens would be third all time, only one behind some Swedish guy who now makes quality underwear 
If Alcaraz wins 2 French Opens I'll be over the moon......as long as it comes when Rafa is retired.

The big question is are they (Aussie tennis officials) going to let Novak play in the 2022 Aussie Open. We know this guy will be there.

I honestly think Novak is vaccinated but he's being coy about it for some reason. I would be shocked if he doesn't play the AO

remember he's the guy that wasted two years of his prime because he didn't believe in elbow surgery, and even then says he cried for days with guilt after it was done. I still think he's trying the medical exemption route, or having some alternative/natural/Duncan Keith Biohacker remedy officially approved.

Meanwhile, Vasek is hanging out with Novak in Serbia. Pops appears to be taking a pass on heading down under as well as he's not entered in qualies for the Aussie Open.

Rublev beat Shapo in three sets while Murray defeated Rafa in straight sets. That means we will see Rafa vs. Shapo and Rublev vs. Murray on Saturday.

Shapo beats Nadal for 3rd place. What are your thoughts about having a third place game at Slams? Could be a way for Slams to get a little bit of extra money with one more prime time game on center court.

No. 3rd place games are stupid, unless it's actually used as a qualification berth for something or a bronze medal.

The worst third place game is the one they play at the World Cup.
