People think they are way up there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you think they should be right next to them, then from 11-14 you\u2019ve still got [Mats] Wilander, [Stefan] Edberg, [Boris] Becker, [Ken] Rosewall, [John] Newcombe, lots of guys through that first 15, for me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut once they both get to eight-10 and double figures, and have that longevity, they will be moving up, but if either one of them doesn\u2019t do anything more, I can\u2019t put them on the list.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alcaraz has not competed since April\u2019s Barcelona Open, where he suffered a wrist injury that forced him to withdraw from both the French Open and Wimbledon.<\/p>\n<p>Most recently, he featured on the newly released Cincinnati Open entry list; however, this does not confirm that he will be fit enough to compete in North America.<\/p>\n<p>When predicting the pair\u2019s eventual Grand Slam title hauls and their positions in tennis history, Gilbert was careful to highlight the uncertainty surrounding Alcaraz\u2019s injury situation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFour to six [on the list], let\u2019s look at that,\u201d he predicted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Pete] Sampras, [Bjorn] Borg, [Rod] Laver. I feel like if these guys continue on the same trajectory, obviously, we don\u2019t know for Alcaraz, coming back from his injury, will he still be the same?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s say he continues on, I feel like these two guys in five or seven years are easily going to be in that mix of four to six.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSaying they are going to get in the 20s. I mean, who would\u2019ve thought anybody [would win 20 Grand Slams]?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I feel like I would be very surprised if they\u2019re not in that four to six mix in five to seven years, that\u2019s the trajectory they\u2019re headed on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carlos Alcaraz &amp; Jannik Sinner\u2019s eventual Grand Slam hauls predicted by renowned tennis analyst Oliver Paton 18 Jul 2026 2:40 PM Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner have been tipped to become two of the greatest players in tennis history, with renowned coach and analyst Brad Gilbert predicting they could eventually [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[226,249],"class_list":["post-2049934","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-crawlmanager","tag-tennis365-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2049934","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2049934"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2049934\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2049934"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2049934"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2049934"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
