Sinner-Alcaraz: Heirs to Federer-Nadal

For Elena Pero, a historic voice in Italian tennis, the comparison is not at all exaggerated.

In an interview shared by Tennis World Italia, she traces the golden thread connecting the great tennis rivalries: Federer-Nadal, Nadal-Djokovic, and now Alcaraz-Sinner.

And she reminds us that the greatest champions never reach the summit alone:

"Federer would never have achieved his greatness without Nadal, and vice versa. Today, Sinner owes his growth to Alcaraz, just as Alcaraz would not be complete without Sinner."

"If they were joined by a third, we would have ten years of happiness"

But Pero goes even further. According to her, this rivalry only needs to be enriched by a third protagonist, the "Djokovic" of this new generation, to offer a decade of absolute sporting pleasure.

A hypothesis that thrills fans, as Sinner-Alcaraz matches already offer an intensity rarely seen at their age.
