A legend of tennis put Alcaraz vs. SINNER ABOVE BIG 3: "Nothing approaches this"

The final of Roland Garros 2025 will remain in the memory of all: the party that Carlos Alcaraz (2nd of the world ranking) beat Jannik Sinner (1st) 4-6, 6-7 (4), 6-4, 7-6 (3) and 7-6 (2), in five and a half hours of playis the longest encounter in the history of the second Major of the season. After this, many personalities of this sport and the world gave their opinion and/or left comments about it.

One of them is Mats Wilanderone of the legends of tennis. The Swedish, former world number 1 and winner of 33 titles, being seven of these of Grand Slam, did not hesitate to put this duel above the ends played by Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.

“They are two of the best athletes that the human race can give and it turns out that they are tennis players. The pride and honor that I feel for having practiced this sport and, hopefully, having inspired the generation following mine and the next and having reached this point with these two warriors. I don’t usually stay speechless, but it was a wonderful day, “he began declaring in an interview with TNT Sports.

“It was absolutely incredible. The expectations are very high when these boys face each other, because they have played incredible games, starting with the US Open 2022. Every game they play is brutally physical, it is emotional and the tennis they are playing is incredible. The level at the end was absolutely ridiculous. I can’t believe we will have this rivalry. They have taken our sport to another level. I never thought that would say that after the three big ones, Roger (Federer), Rafa (Nadal) and Novak (Djokovic)but in reality it is faster than ever a level that is hard to believe that they can do it, “he continued.

Finally, he closed: “I have seen Federer and Nadal play great finals, but nothing approaches this. I really feel very sad for Jannik Sinner with the game points and deserves to win it, but he will have another chance. But it doesn’t end until it ends and you have to win the last point of the game. “
