Goran\u00a0Ivanisevic has asserted that Jannik Sinner is \u201cbetter\u201d and \u201ctougher\u201d than\u00a0Carlos Alcaraz and claimed only one player has a chance to compete with the two stars.<\/p>\n
Since the start of 2024, Sinner<\/a> and Alcaraz have been the dominant duo in men\u2019s tennis and have secured the last seven Grand Slam titles between them.<\/p>\n Sinner defeated Alcaraz<\/a> in four sets in the 2025 Wimbledon final earlier this month to secure his maiden crown at the All England Club and fourth major overall.<\/p>\n The Italian\u2019s triumph ended Alcaraz\u2019s 24-match winning streak and denied the Spaniard a third successive Wimbledon title.<\/p>\n This came shortly after Alcaraz overcame Sinner in an epic five-set French Open championship match, which was the pair\u2019s first encounter in a Grand Slam final. It was Alcaraz\u2019s fifth Grand Slam victory.<\/p>\n Speaking to Croatian outlet Gol<\/a>,\u00a0Ivanisevic \u2014 a former Wimbledon champion who coached Novak Djokovic<\/a> \u2014 gave his verdict on the Wimbledon final and the Sinner-Alcaraz rivalry.<\/p>\n \u201cThis was a one-way final, Sinner was better and in my opinion he is currently a slightly better player than Alcaraz, and the two of them are five spears ahead of everyone else,\u201d said the former world No 2.<\/p>\n Carlos Alcaraz sets sights on \u2018friend\u2019 Jannik Sinner as he vows to be in \u2018top shape\u2019 for US Open<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Taylor Fritz calls for solution to \u2018insane\u2019 tennis issue after Alcaraz, Sinner, Djokovic schedule decision<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n \u201cThe only one who can maybe fight with them is Novak Djokovic, but the others don\u2019t have a chance.<\/p>\n \u201cSinner is better, tougher, I don\u2019t know what tactics I would play against Sinner, he has an answer for everything. He comes back, gathers his strength, wins the tournament.\u201d<\/p>\n In a recent interview with Clay Tenis and RG Media, Ivanisevic was asked how many Grand Slam titles he thinks Alcaraz and Sinner can win.<\/p>\n \u201cA lot, because they\u2019ll share it between them,\u201d the Croatian assessed.<\/p>\n \u201cThe question is how much longer Novak will play \u2014 he\u2019s the only one who can make their lives difficult. But they\u2019re young, they\u2019ll play ten more years. And they have no competition.<\/p>\n \u201cNow it\u2019s a matter of numbers \u2014 I don\u2019t know if they\u2019ll catch the Big Three, but anything is possible \u2014 records are there to be broken.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd as I said, they have no competition, so it will be easier.
