Except for the part about having a totally different style that's actually exciting to watch.

Martina & Chris constantly chiming in on every issue no one ever asked them about is getting tiresome.

"For me he’s a better version of Djokovic. He moves like Novak but he
hits a better ball out wide. More powerful than I’ve ever seen. He’s
defying the laws of gravity out there," Navratilova said "

He isn't as mobile and flexible as djokovic.
Also he isn't at same high level to be compared to djokovic's return of serve yet.
We will see, but I can see that Alcaraz is Jesus that everyone has been waiting for.

You just can't predict 20 slams for anyone. For example Becker looked awesome at younger age, won 3 Wimbledon titles by the time he was 20. He then became stiff.

Alcaraz could be better than Federer, Nadal, Djokovic and Murray but what good is it if he can't mantain it or becomes stiff?

Look at Murray, he was at 3 slams vs 43 for the big 3. He then lost physical powers and stopped winning and they kept winning and he's now 3 vs 61.

They won 18 slams since he won last one.

I think he is an alien based on this "defying the laws of gravity". Must be, right?

Oh, boy! This is going to rile Djokovic up and motivate him the next time he plays Alcaraz. Remember, the match between Alcaraz and Djokovic was down to a couple of points. Throw in the fact that Djokovic peaks at slams. People need to calm down a bit.

Djoker doesn't care what people say at this stage, opinions are just
that. He knows the best comeback is holding the trophy.

But if you are to believe iceberg then Djokovic would be no problem since Alcaraz is like Stan. I tend to look forward to icey insights after even Putin listened to him and is now concentrating on pummeling Donbas.

Djoker has been a bit shaky at AO 2020, FO 2021, W 2019 etc. Eked out wins. His 7-1/2 Saturn period has kicked in now and that is probably not good news for his slam accumulation.
