The level of Sinner and Alcaraz is higher than that of the Big 3," Mouratoglou discusses the difference between the two generations
On his Instagram account, Osaka's coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, shared his thoughts on the new faces of world tennis: Sinner and Alcaraz. The 55-year-old drew a comparison with the members of the Big 3, who he believes were less strong at the same age:
"When Federer was playing, there was no way to do better, but now Alcaraz is doing it. The more time passes, the more tennis becomes professional. The level of Sinner and Alcaraz is higher than that of the Big 3. Not by much, but it is higher. Jannik is a Novak 2.0 in terms of level.
In the same way, I’d say Carlos is a Roger 2.0, not in terms of elegance, but in terms of efficiency. Alcaraz’s physicality is superior to Federer’s, and Sinner plays like Djokovic but is more aggressive. So, is their level higher? I say yes.
