    I did not watch the video, but it is certainly
    quite premature to make predictions like this.

    Alcaraz has won two GS tournanents now. Yes, he
    could win a great deal more, but it is a long way
    even to the 20 championships that Federer won.

    There could be injuries, there could be mental
    problems like psychological fatigue. It is hard
    work to stay on the ATP Tour for 20 years and keep
    in the top shape all that time.

    The emergence of Federer, Nadal and Djokovic was
    almost some kind of a miracle, but not all people
    understand that. It could well take 100-200 years
    before any man wins 20 GS singles titles. The
    three Tennis Gods just made it look easy.
