The 22-time Grand Slam winner Rafael Nadal gives his views on the Sinner and Alcaraz rivalry in a recent interview. The King Of Clay says that they need to create their rivalries and not be compared with other eras right now. Some wise words coming from the Spanish Legend.

The retirement announcement of Rafael Nadal is enough to tell us that the Big Three rivalry will slowly be coming to an end and there are now some more rivalries being created this season. One of the rivalries that is already getting popular is between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner who are currently the two best players of the season and are already termed as the next big thing in the game winning 2 Grand Slams each and are the top 2 players in the ATP rankings.

Nadal on the Sincaraz rivalry

Both Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner have already given us some great matches when they came up against each other on the court. A question was even asked about the two to the 2-time Olympic Gold medalist on how far he thinks this rivalry will go to which he gave a perfect answer saying, "I think it’s not a moment to compare eras. Because Novak is still there. Roger and myself left.. but that’s part of the sports career of everyone. Now it’s a new generation coming. We need to let them create their own rivalries and their own story. They don’t need the comparisons with us."

These are some wise words from the legend who has praised both the players and made sure that the comparisons with the big three do not put any pressure on them. This answer shows that Nadal wants the two to create their own identity in the game.
