"It's the ultimate challenge in tennis right now": Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner 'best in the world' admits rival Stefanos Tsitsipas

Greece’s tennis star Stefanos Tsitsipas claims that Spain’s Carlos
Alcaraz and Italy’s Jannik Sinner are currently the two best players in the
world.
Both players are regarded as the most highly-rated youngsters
currently playing in the men’s single category in the sport. Tsitsipas was recently
quoted in a report where he named both Alcaraz and Sinner as the two best
players in men’s tennis currently.
“It’s the ultimate challenge in tennis right now, so yes it
does change a little bit in that regard, absolutely,” he said. “I feel like I’m
being faced against the best player in the world — the other with Jannik
Sinner, at the very current moment.
“These two guys have been doing incredibly well and I need
to figure it out, I need to find ways to beat them, I need to find solutions on
the court. And I feel like tennis at its maximum potential right now are these
two guys.
“And Carlos in practice, he hit some big shots. I had to
defend those shots, I had to come up with some big shots myself to escape from
certain situations and moments.”
Alcaraz is already a two-time Grand Slam winner. His first
major triumph came in 2022 when he defeated Norway’s Casper Ruud in the final with
a score of 6–4, 2–6, 7–6(7–1), 6–3 to lift the US Open title.

lift his second Grand Slam title.

Russia’s Daniil Medvedev in the final of the Australian Open with a score of 3–6, 3–6, 6–4, 6–4, 6–3.
