Analysts and experts, as well as former tennis players, draw parallels between this and the previous era of tennis. Old fans will probably say that today's tennis players would have huge problems in the era of Nadal, Djokovic or some other tennis players, while there is another side that believes that Sinner and Alcaraz would have a great chance against the Big Three, but also against tennis players who dominated in other eras.
Jo-Wilfred Tsonga, a French tennis player who was a truly dominant figure in one era of tennis, draws a parallel between tennis then and now.
In an interview with Univers Tennis, Tsonga emphasizes that he has enormous respect for Sinner and Alcaraz, but he is interested in how dominant they would be if they played against tennis players he once played with.
Jo-Wilfred Tsonga: A unique tennis player
Tsonga's career ranking is No. 5 and most remember his dominant performances and his fighting spirit with nostalgia. The French tennis player often thrilled fans with his moves and his willingness to make a move that few would dare to make.
Tsonga was a unique tennis player who had a specific style, and it was this style of play that made fans watch him.
The Frenchman could have done much more if injuries had not stood in his way, but certainly, his career is as rich and full of successes as it is.
Whether Sinner and Alcaraz would have been dominant in those eras, we'll obviously never know, but it would certainly be interesting to see a matchup between them and the legends of the sport in their prime.
It remains for us to enjoy this era and hope for exciting tennis.
