Over the years, we have seen several great opponents in tennis. Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal is the one who comes to the mind of everyone where it seemed to be lost that the final of any great straw would inevitably fight with the two icons. Novak Djokovic would then make him a three -way tussle to make things interesting. Now we see a similar species of phenomenon with Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaz.
While the name “sincaraz” can be a mix, like “Feddal”, but after the end of the big three era is of great importance. And statistics and dominance do not lie to the court. Sinner and Alcaraz have won the last seven Grand Slam titles among them. Sinner started winning the Australian Open and Alcaraz’s victory with the French Open and Wimbledon Double. Italian world No. 1 then showed why it is best in terms of hard courts and won victory at Flushing Meadows.
This year he regained the Australian Open before the duo took place one of the best tennis matches of recent timesWhen Alcaraz retained his crown in Roland Garros with an incredible return. Sinner has revenge in Wimbledon and is now considered to be popular for the US Open title. It is not just a battle for the praise of the right, but the title of world no.1 will also be on the line that is currently with Sinner.
The battle and rivalry between them is so intense, even Great Djokovic acknowledged that others are playing catching up at the moment.
“We know,” Novak Djokovic admitted, “right now they are the dominant force.”
The duo met in the open final of Cincinnati, where Sinner had to retire due to illness. Alcaraz was very kind after the victory, went to support his colleagues, but the competition will remain among them.
Sinner’s coach, Darren Cahill, said that the rivalry is as real as he gets, and hopes it is the one that will define sport for the next decade. Italian also finds that his rivalry with Alcaraz is good for sports and for himself.
“Having rival, it’s great,” Sinner said about his trial with Alcaraz. “It’s good for sport, it’s good for a personal perspective, because sometimes when you’re tired in practice, you’re trying to simulate certain things because they can happen in a real match.”
“At the moment, me and Carlos, we share big trophies, but at the same time things can change. You never know. There are great, great players there, and to travel to the finals, it’s very difficult to get there. So if it continues.
Alcaraz is just glad to build with Italian rivalry and feel that they have done a lot for support in such a short time.
“I am really glad to build such a great rivalry against Jannik,” Alcaraz said at the beginning of this month. “Jannik and I, I think we did great things in tennis in such a short period. I just let people talk about our rivalry or things we did for books of tennis history.”
And maybe we won’t have to wait long for both men to go to the tip. The draw for the US Open was not for Alcaraz, which was drawn next to Sinner, Cam Norrie and Alexandra Zverev. But if things get into the plan, the Spaniard and Italian will win in the quarterfinals.
While this rivalry was a fairy tale in itself, there may be some villain of the story.
Djoker packs
It would be foolish to write off Novak Djokovic in any Grand Slam. Serbians may not be the best in terms of fitness and some of the recent results were not in its favor. However, there is no doubt that it always remains a candidate when a great bang comes.
Of the last 12 big slams, Sincaraz could dominate most, but Djokovic won three of them. He is someone who knows what it means to be the third guy in rivalry and probably a master of Duopol.
“I want to see a third guy,” Djokovic said recently at a press conference.
“There are players who are able to have a place Joker, third place.”
In this case, it could be a place of Djoker. The Serbians won the title at Flushing Meadows four times in the past and definitely try to add one more to their collection. Many of them wondered if a 38 -year -old man would reach his last section.
There were hints of weakened body, but the mind still remains the mind of the warrior in terms of former world No. 1. Maybe Djoker has one last act on the sleeve of the US Open.
