John McEnroe drops the bomb in the debate of the sinner of Carlos Alcaraz – Jannik; Roger Federer, Rafa Nadal, Novak Djokovic feel heat | Tennis news
The legend of tennis John McEnroe made an astounding complaint after Carlos Alcaraz reached the third round of the US 2025 open Wednesday. The American never avoided showing his penchant for the 2022 champion, and after the Spaniard killed Mattia Bellucci 6-1, 6-0, 6-3, to the equality of the second round, McENROE praised him as the most “most talented” tennis player he has ever seen.
The classifying above the three big – Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, McENROE told ESPN: “This kid, at 21 or 22, is the most talented guy I have ever seen on a tennis court.”
MCENROE was also invited to choose between contemporaries Jannik Sinner and Alcaraz – whose rivalry has shaped male tennis since the release of Federer and Nadal. “You expect two major players in all sports to give their best. In my opinion, if the two give the best, Carlos Alcaraz is the best general player,” he said.
“If it is at a low, the sinner will beat him. This is what everything comes down,” said McENROE. He added, however, “this Carlos Alcaraz, at 21 or 22, is the most talented kid I have ever seen on a tennis court.”
