World number one Jannik Sinner revealed that he saw the special
talent in Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz when the two met during an early-age contest. Both
players are already regarded as two of the best currently playing men’s tennis in the singles category, along with Serbia’s Novak Djokovic.
Sinner was recently quoted in a report where he stated that
he realiased Alcaraz’s special talent when the two played at an early age. "He
was already playing better tennis than me, I still remember the match. He was
15 and two years younger than me, which is a huge difference at that age, and I
thought for sure he is something special. You could see it and feel it,” he
said.
