Mats Wilander risks attracting the wrath of some tennis fans after his latest outing on Eurosport.
Close observer of the magnificent duel between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner in the final of the ATP 500 in Beijing this Wednesday, the final won by the Spaniard after an exceptional final decisive game where he gleaned seven points in a row while being led 3–0, Mats Wilander was full of praise for this new rivalry.
So complimentary that the Swedish consultant did not hesitate to place it above the numerous contests between Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic in terms of level of play. Just that.
“They are following in the footsteps of the “Big 3” in terms of level of play. I hope Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic are not listening, but in terms of level, when Sinner and Alcaraz are at the in top form, there is no way that anyone has played better tennis, that the tennis ball has done more different, complicated and difficult things than the one between Sinner and Alcaraz. »
