I think that Sinner and Rune could be the two players that will be able to face and fight against Alcaraz. It's just matter of time, but both players are really strong and they continue to growth their experience on field.
Even Alcaraz has admitted the ability of Sinner to play at high level against him (and some match have been won by Italian...) I will not too much surprised if in some year we will see Sinner performing better than Alcaraz. Even Nike (sponsorship) has noted this providing a BIG deal to Italian player... Roll Eyes

I watched Sinner destroy Alcaraz live in Umag last year - but in the long run I don't really feel he'll be able to constantly challenge him.
Rune is an interesting prospect, he's a hard hitter and can cause some problems on his day but is still inconsistent.

The biggest differentiator is the consistency. Alcaraz has shown in 5 sets with Đoković that he can maintain an extremely high level under pressure, he's shown that on Roland Garros as well until his injury. The other players mentioned simply can't do that (Medvedev is a perfect example) and can have their moments, but can't challenge him in the long run.
