Mats Wilander, Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz (Source- Wikepedia and The New York Times)
The 7-time Grand Slam winner and former World number 1 Mats Wilander compares the Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz's rivalry with the big three which leaves the fans fuming on social media. The Swedish legend was attacked by the netizens completely as he states that there is no way anyone has played better tennis than them right now.
The rivalry between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner has really been a battle to watch out for. There are people already putting this as the next big rivalry in tennis especially after the classic performance the two has put on in the China Open final just 2 days ago. There are comparisons between this newborn rivalry and the big three who already with some people are putting them on the same level.
Mats Wilander gets attacked by the fans
One of the people who have made a comparison between the rivalries is Eurosport expert and Swedish tennis legend Mats Wilander who stated that the 'Sincaraz' rivalry is better than the big three rivalry. He clearly states, "I hope Roger, Novak, and Rafa are not listening, but in terms of level, when Sinner and Alcaraz are at their best, there is no way anyone has ever played better tennis." These words from the 7-time Grand Slam winner did not sit well with the fans who do not believe that Sinner and Alcaraz's rivalry has reached the level where it can be compared to one of the greatest rivalries in the game.
The fans on social media have continued to attack Wilander and the comments are quite ugly. Though we all have enjoyed the matches between the young and upcoming top stars, it might be too early for all of us to compare the two with one of the best rivalries in the sport we have ever witnessed.
Here is how the fans have reacted-
Novak Djokovic vs Rafael Nadal is the highest level of tennis we've ever seen.
