Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner they are almost unanimously considered as the future dominators of world tennis. The two champions, despite being only 21 and 23 years old respectively, have already demonstrated their strength, bringing home many prestigious trophies.
Having already both reached the first position in the ranking, Carlos and Alcaraz are considered the heirs of the Big 3, who wrote indelible pages in the history of the sport. Lucas also thinks so Pouillewho already considers them at their level: “It depends on many things, but at a tennis level I believe that the two of them are already as strong as those three.
The question is whether they will be able to have the consistency of the Big Three, or the Big Four. Will they have the consistency to play at a high level week after week? Only the future will tell us”, in an interview with Tennis Actu.
For the French tennis player, many variables may arise to hinder their path: “It is impossible to say whether they will reach the number of Slams of Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, or Roger Federer. Carlos only needs the Australian Open to have the Career Grand Slam, he will have won all four, and he is only 21 years old.
We can say that it is truly extraordinary. Today the two are of the same caliber as the best four we could have had in recent years. But whether they will do as well or better in their careers, I think we can’t say today,” he stated confidently.
Zazzaroni’s opinion on the rivalry between Alcaraz and Sinner
Ivan Zazzaroni, journalist and director of Corriere dello Sport, also spoke about this incredible rivalry. The commentator from Bologna expressed a rather clear opinion on the two world tennis phenomena to Mowmag: “I’m not a tennis expert but during the semi-final I thought about it several times, in terms of natural talent Alcaraz has something more than Sinner.
However, Jannik is very talented and in recent years he has developed a rather personal tennis style that can create difficulties for anyone, including Alcaraz. He is a champion but I believe that in terms of talent and shots Alcaraz has something more”, he concluded.
