Boris Becker recently spoke to Ubitennis.
Enthusiastic about the level of play offered by Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, he also explained that it wasn't enough for him and that he would like a third player to reach their level to create a new 'Big Three'.

Asked who this possible 3rd player might be, Becker pointed to the man who could make it happen, a certain Ben Shelton: "For me, the one who's closest to reaching the top is Ben Shelton.
The one who seemed closest at the start was Holger Rune, but he hasn't made much progress this year.
However, I also watched the American at length at the Laver Cup, in singles and doubles, and liked his attitude. He smiles, puts on a show and has fun."
