    Definitely not. Somewhere between 30 and 40 is entirely doable.

    20y from now: 50 and 60 is entirely doable.

    Nah. Pelle got the point.

    Fed-Nadal-Djoker era is special not likely to repeat. (see golf: Nicklaus - Player - Palmer -era never repeated on tour and actually it was about a decade short compared to Fed-Nadal-Djoker)

    It is not about their absolute play quality .... but just longevity and sustainability (look how Mac/Borg/Wilander/Becker/Agassi had all the distractions affecting their - not just play but entire seasons and career)

    How Djoker/Nadal/Fed time after time still kept going even after most crushing career defining defeats imaginable? Add today's social media basebars?

    That saying: better tennis will be, but more sustainable?

    No way. That is just ridiculous.

    Alcaraz is one of my bigbest favourites, but it is very
    unlikely that he will even win the 20 GS singles titles
    like Federer did.
