Sinner, Alcaraz is considered not to have reached Nadal's level

(Dan Tri) - Although Sinner and Alcaraz have dominated tennis for nearly 2 years, former tennis player Richard Gasquet believes that this duo has not reached the level of legend Rafael Nadal.

Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz are currently the two brightest stars in men's tennis, dominating the last 6 Grand Slam tournaments. However, both Sinner and Alcaraz are still rated lower than Nadal ahead of Wimbledon 2025, which will take place in England from June 30 to July 13.

Former tennis player who has faced Nadal, Sinner, Alcaraz, Richard Gasquet commented: "Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz are the two best tennis players today, but they have not reached the level of Rafael Nadal, especially on clay courts."

The former Frenchman has faced Nadal 18 times in his career and has never won. Richard Gasquet highly appreciates the Spanish legend's class, especially on clay courts, and believes that Alcaraz and Sinner have not reached the "monster" level like their seniors Djokovic, Nadal, and Federer.

Russian star Daniil Medvedev said: "I want to see Alcaraz and Sinner face difficulties right from the start of the tournament to test their ability to overcome difficulties and their stability on grass, in an unpredictable playground like Wimbledon."

Veteran coach Toni Nadal commented on the two top players in the world today: “I still think about the dream final between Sinner and Alcaraz. But players with good serves like Ben Shelton can knock out big stars, because grass courts are unpredictable and matches can get out of control very quickly.”

At Wimbledon 2025, Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz are the two top seeds, they can only meet in the final. However, these two stars will have to overcome many challenges from Zverev, Draper, Djokovic or players who are highly appreciated for their serving ability such as Ben Shelton, Daniil Medvedev, Alexander Bublik, Holger Rune.
