Despite being a former World No.1 and multiple Grand Slam Champion, Carlos Alcaraz remains humble in his efforts as he admitted that he isn’t on the same level as Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.
The next generation is often a discussion between Alcaraz, Sinner and Rune before eventually Djokovic and Nadal finally retire but the Spaniard doesn’t see the status of the big names changing for now.

"For me, the stars are Djokovic, Rafa and Federer, and some others out there. I have achieved great things, but I still have a long way to go to be one.”

- If there is some other reason, like exhaustion or self-preservation by not playing in consecutive tourneys, then simply say so. There's no shame in self preservation. Since the WTA obviously does not seriously consider a player's physical and mental stress as they schedule back-to-back majors, it's okay to adhere to such a healthy agenda and admit it. The illness thing is kind of suspect at this point; if only because of the timing pattern.

Is it truly an illness causing these withdrawals? It may be helpful -- even encouraging -- for others whom also suffer whatever illness is ongoing here to know what she is dealing with; and how. A form of Colitis? Ulcers? What's up? Timing has been last minute. It's a bummer all around.mandoist10-05-2024
- Tennis is ridiculous to maintain the tradition of silence. If they can play in open courts like Rome with all the noise from each court they surely could survive cheering, etc., during play (i.e., a singles match with only a 2 meter fence between them and a men's doubles -- and very loud noise from each side).mandoist10-05-2024
