Carlos Alcaraz won the final match of the Australian Open, defeating Novak Djokovic 3:1 in sets.
The Spaniard has set himself up well for the season, and most expect that this will only be the beginning for him.
Carlos also became the youngest player to complete a career Grand Slam by winning the Australian Open.
Before the final, Toni Nadal had interesting predictions about Carlos Alcaraz, aware that he has great talent and technical qualities for success.
“Alcaraz can go as far as he wants. First, he has special physical conditions.
He has excellent technical quality, and on top of that, he has the luck of facing lower-level rivals. And I’m not saying this because I’m Rafael Nadal’s uncle—not at all. I try to be fair, but it’s clear."
Comparisons between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz in the context of the 'Big Three' have been going on for several years, and it seems that they will continue in the future.
Tennis fans are divided as to which tennis players are more dominant – those from the era of the 'Big Three' or today.
Toni Nadal is convinced that Rafael Nadal had a much more difficult task than Carlos Alcaraz, believing that Alexander Zverev is the only opponent who can cause problems for Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz.
“Rafael would play against Djokovic, against Del Potro, and if Del Potro had a great day, he could beat you. Nowadays… do they win 80%? Yes.
The only one who could really challenge them is [Alexander] Zverev, if he’s willing to change some habits in his game and character.”
Alcaraz vs Sinner
The 22-year-old faces the greatest danger from Jannik Sinner, and if he can find a way to beat him, then we can really expect Alcaraz to dominate in the long run.
Nevertheless, Sinner is a tennis player who does not give up easily, and it is certain that he will continue to give his maximum in order to reach the desired success.
