"They move like rockets": Sinner and Alcaraz, the natural heirs to Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic?
At every tournament, Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz push the boundaries of what we thought possible at their age a little further.
Their technical, mental, and athletic dominance impresses as much as it raises questions.
But can we really compare these two phenomena to the absolute legends that are Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, and Roger Federer?
The common point with Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic? "Movement"
For Rick Macci, former coach of Serena Williams and a respected voice in world tennis, Sinner and Alcaraz share with the Big 3 a fundamental and often underestimated common characteristic:
"Movement. They move like rockets on the court."
According to him, these five players possess the same ability to cover the court with a fluidity and explosiveness that are rare. An absolute prerequisite for reaching heights that very few have touched in the history of tennis.
Towards a new legendary era?
No one can predict if Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz will reach the stratospheric numbers of the Big 3.
But one thing is certain: tennis is in good hands.
