Alcaraz Kafelnikov Sinner

In a strong statement, the former Russian champion shared his conviction: world tennis is about to enter an era of unchallenged rule, with Alcaraz and Sinner as the sole masters for the next five seasons.

Often keeping up with the latest tennis news, Yevgeny Kafelnikov discussed the dominance imposed by Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner on the ATP tour.

In remarks transcribed by Tennis World Italia, the former world No. 1 stated that the two young champions will remain at the top for many years:

"I think (they will dominate for a long time). No one can match them. Not Novak Djokovic, nor Alexander Zverev. Unfortunately, Novak is no longer at his peak physically and he knows it.

And when playing Grand Slams, with best-of-five-set matches, it's very difficult to keep up physically against young players who are at the peak of their careers.

I fear we are going to witness their domination for the next five years.
