Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner bar widely considered among the top youngsters in the world. They played an extremely entertaining match at the recent US Open when the young Spanish player won in 5 sets. The US Open tournament director Stacey Allaster commented:
“We watched McEnroe and Borg and how great they were. Sampras and Agassi and how great that level of tennis is.
This was at a whole new level. I really think that match is the beginning of a new rivalry. The next generation stands on the shoulders of the previous generation and they take the sport to the next level. Sometimes, it takes a while for that to kick in.
These guys proved to the world that they’re not just ready, they took it to the next level. That’s really always amazing, right? That Sinner-Alcaraz match was the best match I’ve ever seen in my life.”
