Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner are emerging as the great dominators of the current circuit, and everything indicates that they may mark an era in the next decade.
A little behind is another young tennis player called to fight for the throne: Holger Rune. The Dane, who has had a very disappointing year, after not defending his final in Monte Carlo or the quarterfinals at Roland Garros, and who has never been past the quarterfinals at a Grand Slam, challenged Carlos Alcaraz, whom he recognized as the leader in the Grand Slams of the new generation, and He said, “let’s see who will be first in 15 years.”
When asked if he, along with Jannik Sinner and Alcaraz, were the new ‘big three’, Rune denied he had said that, but added that it was “positive” that they were starting to be talked about that way.
“Alcaraz, physically, is incredible. I think he moves incredibly well, reads the game very well. The sinner hit him very well, with his forehand, with his backhand he was very strong. “I volley very well and I think I read the game very well too,” said the Dane.
“I think I have all the qualities. Right now, Alcaraz has the most Grand Slams, but we’ll see in fifteen years who comes out on top.” he added.
In today’s generation of young talents, Alcaraz has three Grand Slams, US Open 2022, Wimbledon 2023 and Roland Garros 2024while Sinner won in Australia earlier this year.
Alcaraz himself has more Grand Slams than all players born in the 90s combined, as only Daniil Medvedev, who won the US Open in 2021, and Dominic Thiem, who won in New York in 2020, are included. .
