Carlos Alcaraz y Jannik Sinner have dazzled the world of tennis in 2025. The Spaniard and the Italian have not only dominated racquet sport (sharing the four Grand Slams), but they have left matches that are already tennis history, such as the final of Roland Garros.
The level of play that both have shown has reminded us of the best version of the best in history, the legendary ‘Big3’. So much Alcaraz as Sinnergiven the victories they have achieved at such a young age, they have already been compared to the three best players of tennis history.
There are those who even think that the level of number one and two in the world could be above Novak Djokovic, Rafa Nadal y Roger Federer. It is the opinion of Greg Rusedskiwho became number four in the world: “Over the years, science introduces new nuances in tennis, improving the technology of the rackets, the physique of the tennis players, the technique…”
“What Jannik and Carlos are doing is elevating tennis to a higher status, they are playing at a level that has never been seen before, so you can say they are better than the Big 3. However, that does not mean that Federer, Nadal and Djokovic “They would not have reached that level of play if they had the current conditions,” Rusedski acknowledges in a statement to ‘tennis365’.
Even so, the extensionist is not convinced that Carlos and Jannik achieve the successes of the ‘Big3’: “We are seeing two players who They are on another level never seen beforebut that doesn’t mean they can win as much as the Big 3. It’s a very different debate. We must respect the triumphant longevity of Roger, Rafa and Novak. Their records will be difficult to beat“.
