Andy Roddick was left in awe after witnessing the epic French Open final between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, describing their performance as one of the most extraordinary displays of tennis he has ever seen. The former world number one marveled at the intensity, skill, and endurance shown by both players in a match that lasted over five hours.

Speaking on his podcast, Roddick compared their level of play to the legendary Big Three—Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic—suggesting that Alcaraz and Sinner are taking the sport to unprecedented heights. “It is just absurd the level that these two have taken this game to like the Big Three before them, they are pushing the game to heights that I don’t know we have ever seen before,” he said.

Roddick was particularly impressed by Sinner’s aggressive approach and the sheer power behind his shots. “The way that Jannik came out and how hard he was hitting the ball. It was just absurd,” he noted. He also highlighted the remarkable endurance of both players, emphasizing how astonishing it was that they were still standing after such a grueling battle.

The match, which saw Alcaraz stage a dramatic comeback from two sets down, has been hailed as one of the greatest Grand Slam finals in history. With both players continuing to push each other to new levels, their rivalry promises to shape the future of tennis in a way that captivates fans and elevates the sport to new heights.
