"I don't feel that I'm the best of my generation" admits Alcaraz citing Sinner and Rune as examples

Humble as ever, Carlos Alcaraz admitted that he doesn't feel the best player in his generation after his opening win.

Alcaraz defeated Jeremy Chardy to open up his Wimbledon campaign yesterday and despite being World No.1 and a Grand Slam champion, he said he doesn't feel top of the class.

He cited Holger Rune and Jannik Sinner as reasons why with slim head to heads against both and likely rivalries to go on years so he can't fully commit to the notion yet.

"Well, I don't feel that I'm the best of my generation. I mean, Sinner is there. Rune, as well. They are playing a great level. I mean, it's 1-0 head-to-head against Rune. I mean, he's up on me right now. Great matches with Jannik," said Alcaraz.

He continued to reiterate that point and said that he is merely looking forward to the battles between the trio coming up in the next few years.

"I don't feel at the time I'm the best in my generation. There are a lot of great players in my age that each are there right now. We are going to share great moments. That's all I can say right now.
