It’s no secret that the Italian and the Spaniard have reached another dimension compared to all their rivals, and the numbers confirm this. These two players have shared the last eight Grand Slam titles evenly, have faced each other in the last three Majors finals and the distance that separates them from the competition in the ATP rankings has reached enormous proportions.
According to all experts and insiders, Jannik and Carlitos will remain the men to beat for many years to come and their opponents will have the tough task of finding new solutions to stop their dominance.
Two absolute champions
The 24-year-old from Sesto Pusteria will defend his title at the Australian Open next month and aims to become the second player in the Open Era after Novak Djokovic to lift the trophy at Melbourne Park three years in a row. He trains in Dubai with maximum intensity and his game is enhanced by the hard courts, as evidenced by his results over the past two and a half years.
The 22-year-old Spaniard, on the other hand, has not yet found any particular feeling at AO, having never progressed beyond the quarter-finals in the first Major of the year. As if that wasn’t enough, the current world number 1 has just announced the separation from his historic coach Juan Carlos Ferrero and is preparing for a new phase of his career.
In a recent interview with ‘TG1’, Italian star Flavio Cobolli – who had the best season of his career – was very honest about the current level of Sinner and Alcaraz: “You have to be realistic in life. I do my best and work every day to reach their level, but I have to admit that at the moment I am far ahead.”
Cobolli has been at the center of a remarkable rise this year, lifting Italy to its third successive Davis Cup success.
