Tennis is in good hands, those of Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. The two young players are a boon for our sport as we experience the last glimmers of the reign of the splendid Big-3, formed by Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic.
Both the Spaniard and the Italian are real stars and their precocity is matched only by their talent, which leads everyone to believe that they will be the two big players in tomorrow’s tennis.
Mats Wilander speaks on the subject
Just a few days ago, Alcaraz and Sinner played the final of the Beijing tournament, a final that was incredible from start to finish to conclude the longest match in the history of the tournament, a match who crowned Carlitos.
The Swede and legend of our sport Mats Wilander explains that we are indeed experiencing the birth of a big-2: “ When Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz are at their best, no one can play better tennis, neither today nor in the future.
The show they put on in Beijing was great, super entertaining, I rank it among the best sporting events in history. Every time they face off there is this magic, they always produce this kind of suspense for the sake of entertainment.
In terms of level, these two guys are following in the footsteps of the Big3. I hope Roger, Novak and Rafa don’t listen to me but, in terms of level, when Sinner and Alcaraz are at their best, there is no one who plays better tennis. With them, the ball does different things, more complicated than those of the others. ”
