The lights of the new era in a short tennis has finally arrived in some style.
Carlos Alcaraz and Jannic Sinner dominated the sport for two years, but like a couple in boxers in difficulty, they have tried each other, never met in the Great Finland Grand Slam.
Roland-Garros set the stage and the best players on the planet submitted a stone classic, with Alcaraz saved three primary points before beating the longest finals in France open history, five-set, five hours for 29 minutes Epil.
It was the first major final between two men born in this century and on this evidence, there will be more.
“It’s not overly things say it’s one of the biggest bachelors of all time,” he said Ski Sports’ Jonathan was thrown. “It is always so hard to judge, compare and compare and all to team up all of them, but in the open era of Slam final, we testified that it was in a very small collection of all kinds of large matches.
“You would have to put Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic Australian Open Open in 2012. Because it was the best Vimbledon Final 2008 for me, when Nadal Beat Federer 9-7 is in the final set, and that is the one that is in the The final place and that is in the final set, and that is what is in the final place, and that is what is in my last match, and that is most important to me that I am the highest match that is to me that is the biggest matches, and that is the greatest in the fall That I hope it is above the rest and that’s what is what is most important. Have you ever seen.
“It now has a competition of sinners and alcarases in Roland-Garros in 2025. years. Years. It is just a clean quality of the game so late in the match and that was what was respected by Nadal-Federer ’08.
“They would deliver these amazing exchange nearby. It passed 21pm at the Court in Vimbledon that year and I didn’t think I would see that Tennis played so late in such an important match.
“We are on Sunday and we are! It was a level that was answered in ’08 and dare to say, it is better to use better.
“Just an elite tennis, getting it on new heights and the fifth set-break Alcaraz was close to perfection. It was an amazing match between two guys who are still so young. He scares you in terms of their potential.
“It just makes you think where they can cross from here. If we conclude that the match was as good as the Nadal against Federer at the peak, where can the sinner and Alcaraz take away this rivalry?
“The fact that they were shared between them in the last six Grand Slams and they had this perfect record in the Grand Slam Final before I happen, and again at the next level where they would still have to make even more.
“They will continue to push and further forward in the way Nadal, Djokovic and Federer had to work each other.
“Greener and Alcaraz will have to dominate when their greatest rival (Djokovic) is already in that conversation for this rivalry, because it’s so early in career, the only way is here and it’s so exciting for the future of tennis.”
Robson: It was a theater
Former British no. 1 Laura Robson became the “theater” of the final despite spite of the day meeting the work obligations in his role, the director of the new women’s VTA 500 events in the Queen’s Club.
Speak Ski SportsShe said, “I’ve checked the result during the day and I was thinking” There’s nothing better than living sports because it’s so unpredictable. “You can’t get better than that – it was a theater!
“Final is impossible to compare the same way you are trying not to compare different era sports, because the game style moved and the equipment is different. Why would I like to compare the finals of Vintage Federer.
“When I watched that fifth gathering, I thought about Djokovic’s finals, when they were so exhausted that they had to sit because they could no longer stand up and they could no longer get up and it was a vibe.
“We are happy as a sport that after” big three “now we have these two pushes each other at new heights in sports.”
Alcaraz coach, former world no. 1 Juan Carlos Ferrero, spoke about the rivalry after the final, saying, “For sports, something amazing to have these players, such kinds of rivalry.
