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.

In 2023, the current world number two defeated the current world number one Serbia’s legendary tennis star Novak Djokovic in the final at Wimbledon in a five-set thriller with a score of 1–6, 7–6(8–6), 6–1, 3–6, 6–4 to lift his second Grand Slam title.

On the other hand, Sinner won his maiden and till now only major title this year when he defeated 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.
