After a season full of emotions and some surprises, it’s time to make a certain evaluation of how the current landscape looks on the men’s circuit. In this case, it is Alexander Zverev, currently the number two in the world, who analyzes his biggest rivals both in 2024 and for the future. The German showers praise on both Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, the current world number one and defending champion at the Australian Open.

“Carlos is someone I get along with very well. We have also experienced special moments together, playing important matches against each other and spending a bit more time together off the court. Something has been created between us. Whenever we have faced each other and played, there has been a great show; it’s fun to be on the court with him,” said Alexander about Alcaraz, a rival he has already faced 11 times, as reported by SuperTennis.

A well-deserved number one

“In tennis terms, he absolutely deserves to be the number 1 in the world. He has won two Grand Slam titles, three Masters, and the ATP Finals. He is the best player in the world, the one who has won the most titles,” Zverev asserted unequivocally about Jannik Sinner, who has taken a big step in his evolution this 2024 season. The rivalry between the German and the Italian consists of six chapters (with a 4-2 balance in favor of Alexander), with only one match this year that Sinner won in the Cincinnati Masters semifinals. We will have to wait just a few days to see them in full swing, with the Australian Open being the first major goal to fight for, where the three players are the main contenders.
