Russia’s tennis star Daniil Medvedev believes the likes of
Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz and Italy’s Jannik Sinner are the kind of players who
can win a lot of Grand Slams in the next decade or so.
Both players are regarded as two of the most highly-rated
players currently playing in the men’s singles category. Medvedev was recently
quoted in a report where he stated that both players have the talent to win multiple
Grand Slams in the coming years.
“I think at this moment, because everything can change, you
know, there can be new young guys coming up,” he said. “There can be someone
who is, I don't know, 22 right now, like Luca Nardi I think 21, and suddenly
maybe this year after this win he's going to do some crazy things.
“You never know. But Carlos and Jannik, for the moment, just
them, they already established themselves to say we are here, we're going to
try to win as many tournaments as possible. Then it's always a question, do
they win 9, 10, 12 slams, which is amazing, or do they go for 25 to beat Novak,
which is a bit more of a special number.
“And you never know. Who knows? Maybe at 30 Carlos says, I'm
tired of tennis, I stop, or maybe he's going to play until he's 45, and the
medicine improves so much he can do it. It's tough to answer this question, but
I'm sure that Carlos and Jannik will have a lot of slams. But until I play I
hope I can sometimes try to beat them because it's a very tough job, very tough
task.”
