Alcaraz Sees Federer in Himself, Compares Sinner to Djokovic
Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner have risen to prominence in the professional tennis scene, especially following the retirements of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. Currently, they occupy the top two spots in the ATP rankings, with Alcaraz holding the number one position and Sinner ranking second. Their arrival marks a shift from the previous era dominated by the legendary “Big Three” of Federer, Nadal, and Novak Djokovic.
Alcaraz’s Comments on Federer and Sinner
As the 2026 Australian Open approaches, Federer acknowledged a resemblance in playing style with Alcaraz. In an interview with Sony Sports Network, Alcaraz expressed his excitement about Federer’s remarks. “It was an incredible sensation to hear that,” he noted. He further elaborated, indicating that Sinner’s game aligns more closely with Djokovic’s style.
Alcaraz articulated his view on how their playing styles align with those of the tennis legends. He stated, “I see myself a bit like Roger,” referring to Federer’s aggressive style, including effective drop shots and net play. Alcaraz appreciates the emphasis on not giving opponents time to recover during matches. Both he and Sinner, he claimed, enjoy playing in a manner that reflects their own characters.
Current Achievements and Future Aspirations
Alcaraz and Sinner have together secured all Grand Slam titles from 2024 to the current date, showcasing their dominance in men’s tennis. As they strive for more titles, Alcaraz is particularly focused on achieving a Career Slam. His next challenge will be against Adam Walton, currently ranked 79th, as he seeks to secure the only Grand Slam title missing from his achievements.
Historically, Alcaraz has faced difficulties at the Australian Open, reaching the quarter-finals in both 2024 and 2025 but never advancing to the semi-finals. This year, he aims to break that barrier and make a significant impact in Melbourne.
